Hi everyone,

My 7 & 10 yr old have been fishing for a few years now with spincasting gear. I just bought 2 fly rod/reel outfits from Beans. I had a hard time deciding between the 7' 5wt and the 8'6" 5wt.

Ultimately I went with the 7' outfit. Thinking the shorter rod would be easier to learn with.
Now, I'm now wondering if I should have gone with the longer rod it being a little more versatile and they probably would get more use out of it down the road.

What do you all think?


P.S...For $75 it's a great investment. If they decide they don't like it I can always donate the rods. Plus Beans is giving away free casting lessons with every rod/reel outfit purchased, can't beat it.
