My oldest grand daughter turns 6 the end of this month. She is an outdoorsy kid who loves to examine whatever fish and big game i bring home and loves to get involved in cleaning and dressing game. So this year gonna get rid of the cheesy $20 kids rod and kit her out proper. What good is money anyways if a grandfather can't spoil his grand kids.

Got her a nice Plano 1-tray tackle box and stuffed it full of stuff. Added a 42 inch Timber Mac Attack rod equipped with a Sedona 500 series reel. Actually an ice fishing rod but perfect for a 6 year old on soft water. Spooled it with 15 pound braid and made up a bunch of 30 inch fluorocarbon leaders:



Gonna get out with her on Nip and and a few back lakes this summer.

Nicely done!

Sounds like a great time and plan! Just remember to take pictures to show us your catch.

Great job, at the end I’d the day nothing really matters but family so spoil her while you can.

I did the same recently. I gave 10 year old Grandson and step brother a half dozen good rods and reels. A couple of Zebco 33’s and the rest Ambassadeurs. Then a big tackle box full of miscellaneous lures, hooks and sinkers. Then new line. I sold my boat years ago, quit tournaments, and now only fish my own ponds. I still have a lot more than I can ever use.

Way to go gramps, cannot wait to see her first catch!

Awesome

nice. i taught my almost six year old daughter to cast this evening. one and done. At 54 not sure ill ever be teaching grandkids to fish. One can only hope!!!
