[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 175562, member: 1485"] So No. 1 Son and I got into some epic shore fishing in the Ottertail Lakes region Sunday. So much so, that my 30-year-old-ish Snoopy Pole finally took a dump and we were relegated to sharing my pole. Big difference for kiddo was that his pole had a button reel while mine was spinning. We're in the market for his first real fishing rod, but I'm a bit torn on what to get him. My first rod after Mr. Snoopy was a Zebco combo. I used it quite a bit and it was an easy transition since it was just a bigger button reel/rod. But I was wondering if we could just fast-track him to the spinning reel. True, it takes a bit more finesse to cast, but he wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel when he's older and ready for an upgrade. Then again he's only 3. Well, 3.5. So maybe sticking with a button reel is the way to go. I'm open to experiences from dads with more years and children than I.
