Inshore Baitcaster for a Kid
 

Anyone have any advice on a good inshore baitcaster for an 11 yo. He does fine on my 200E7, what rod would also suggest.

Want to get him a set up for birthday.

first reel my g/f (at the time) ever casted in her life was a curado and ever since that's all I've put her with. A kid may want a little shorter rod though. I don't think you need anything fancy though. Curados are definitely awesome and then you can use it when he doesn't go with you..... if he lets you lol

how bout one of the Lews reels on a Shimano Compre rod.... would run around $200 but the rod has lifetime replacement and if he aint there it gives you an rod and reel

Get him a StickEm rod with one of Glen's Outcast Baitcasting Reels. $230.00 approx! Really makes for a great combo. If you want to try the reel, I have one spoiled up here at the house.

Check out OCR in Lafayette. They cut down a $40 rod for my 9 yr old. Made it 5'6" and put his name on the rod for free. He loves it.

Thanks Paul, cause of you I met Josh Howard, did not dis appoint, great trip and who do I contact for a stickEm rod, would like to have his name on it.

Glad you had a good trip with Josh. He really will do whatever it takes!

I sent you a PM about the StickEm Rod.

I bought H2O mettles fron Academy and put them on the All-Star salt water wader Classic series rods for my kiddos. Great set-ups. Cost around $100 for the whole rig. I use them regularly and have been pleasantly surprised on how smooth those mettles are.

I know "burnt" has a brand new stickem he is looking to sell. I have a mettle, no problems with it other than it needs to be cleaned. An old citica is a good choice too.
