Norm M Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 What kind of fly would you use, match the rod or the hatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Rather amazing that it held together. I bought my son a number of cheap spin cast outfits, what a waste of money. Cheap crap. These were not even "toy" outfits. I finally bought him a 40 dollar glass tip ugly stick/ shakespear spinning combo. I loaded it with 10lb Suffix, the tail end of a 150 yard spool. Then I can change tippets, appropriate for the situation. He's caught lots of big fish and we fish a lot. i think it was Al Lindner that said, "Never hand a kid something you would not fish with" He did want the Roland Martin Rocket fishing thing-a-ma jig for Xmas. Roland Martin.... snake oil anyone? Needless to say. Santa brought a Wii instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loebach Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Take your kids to anglers international in palatine. They have a wide range of imported Aussie & Japanese stuff mostly too expensive but there is a section of realistic panfish lures that are moderatly priced & look like beetles, dragonflies ect. that your guys would get a kick out of. I suspect they also work at catching fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
