I got about the same thing from S.A. but with an 8'6" rod . I used the S.A. set when I started fly fishing last summer and was fed up with the rod pretty quickly into this year's season. It was a fast action rod and I had trouble with vibration in the rod on the stops.
I think for kids the 8' rod would be better for their size. However, I'm 6'3" tall and my favorite rod is only 7'6" and slow action. Go figure...
