gonfishin,
I hope he becomes a "junky", I could use another "fishin buddy". Just hope he doesn't look at the $600 sage rods any time soon.


ohiotuber,
That's cool that your grandkids are fishing at such an early age. My grandson has been spincasting for about 3 years with the other side of the family but decided he wants to FLY FISH.....go fiqure.


Bill,
Thanks for the reminder. I have already considered the safty aspects and debarbed hooks and sun glasses it shall be. Interesting note about the rope.


bluegill222,
I plan on doing JUST enough fishing to give the appearance of fishing with him and not just being someone to untangle knots. I'll play that one by ear. Sounds as though you've had some experience with kids and fishing yourself.

The rod wasn't supposed to arive until next Tuesday but instead it arrived today. I was pleasantly suprised how nice it is. I haven't cast it yet but it passes the "waggle test" and has a nice appearance. Even has a wood filler on the reel seat and the hardware seems very decent.
