    2 pages about a rig for an 8 year old. 8 really? I was happy with a cane pole I made from cane I cut out of the bottoms when I was 10. Keep him interested for sure. Love it that he wants to fly fish. Something cheap entry level. No 8 year olds is going to be able to “feel” shit. Next up which 1000 yard out of the box custom rifle for teenagers?!

    Just bought my 12 year old his first Koler. He couldn’t hit anything with his DT11 so I figured he needed a little extra. Who doesn’t need nice stuff?

    Cheap/entry level will quickly remind you that you get what you pay for, as I've already found out.

    Buggy whippin' isn't about catching fish. it's about how good you look doing it.

    Style ain't cheap and cheap ain't a style.

    I still use the Junior sized Sage rod and Ross reel I got little brother way back in the day. He doesnt use it so much anymore, but I like that I can fish tight spots with it.

    BP, check sierratradingpost.com for their stuff. I have had good luck getting fly fishing stuff there at a deal.
