Has anyone made a rod for a small child that is light and short enough to easily handle by a small child but is strong enough to use trolling for big bass Bluefish, and Bonita. My son is a fishing machine and I want to get him a setup that fits him perfectly. He is currently using a pen slammer and a 3500 baitrunner but it is way too big of a setup for him.

 

Any Recomendations?

look at a lami, nice slow action for a kid or the rodgeeks sglass, you can cut the up pretty good to get youre desired rod. the rodgeek sglass is 7'9" and you can cut a few inches of the top. its a slow action with a soft tip but has a bit of carbon in the butt so that I shuts down around the stripper guide pretty good.

 

The pic at the bottom of this thread is a rod geeks s glass with 6" off the but and 3" off the tip. for what you are doing I would cut a little more off the tip and not cut the butt. that's a 12 lb blue on the rod. Billy40 may have some of the rod geeks in stock

The rod he has now is 7 foot fast action and can see how a slow action would be more comfrotatoble for him thanks for the advise
