sometimes not-so-cute is better
I started my girls on fiberglass, telescoping crappie poles (basically high-tech bamboo poles). Once they got coordinated enough, I graduated them to spincast setups. The "cute" spincast setups I have found to be cheap in the worst sense of the word. Convince him into a little better, not so cute looking spincast setup (i.e. a Zebco 33 is berated by many, but reliable). This time of year I've found them on sale at K-mart, etc. Good luck, and feel free to PM me if you have other questions.:beerchug:
