Re: Youth size reel

Kenneth,

If you wanted to get him started with a baitcaster (it might be a little
early) there Shimano Bantam 100B is excellent. I usually see it sold to
women more than children (who wants to pay $120 for a reel for a kid just
learning).  It is nice and small.  I own a couple of them I use for
crankbaits.  I have small hands so it is nice when you are throwing them all
day.
Again the price tag is up there, but just thought I would pitch in my 2
cents.
