At K-Rod, we believe that passing
the joy of fishing to the next generation can be one of the most enjoyable
experiences of a lifetime. But, smaller hands need smaller rods.
To solve this dilemma, we have created
a smaller rod designed to look like an adult rod, yet increase the excitement
of catching fish for the youngster. We start with a special, slow
action blank that will bend even when bluegill and crappie strike.
Grips are of durable foam and guides are stainless steel, designed to better
handle the incidental bangs and bumps the rods receive at the hands of
children. A small graphite casting handle is perfect for little hands.
Finally, we often use bright thread colors, adding a flash to the rod.
OK, these rods do cost a little more
than the short, kit specials you often see; and you do have to buy a reel
to go with them. On the plus side, these rods last longer and increase
the fun for children. They also look just like a big rod. Furthermore,
if you have more than one child, get rods with different thread colors
and eliminate arguments over which rod belongs to which child. (I'm
a parent too.)
The approximate price (subject to
availability and price of components) is $34.45 plus shipping & handling.
