    Default WTB: Starter Fly Rod for Child

    All:

    I am looking to buy a fly rod for my 3 year old son. He is already a passionate little fisherman. If you possibly have a child specific rod, like the Echo "Gecko" or the Ross "Journey" Youth fly rod, that maybe your child has outgrown, I'd be interested. If you have anything that is sitting around that you'd like to part with please send me a PM.

    I would strongly suggest the echo geko. I bought one for my daughter. It really is a well designed rod. I lined it with a 5wt wf teeny first cast line. Casts very well, but you can really feel the rod load. The small handle is very nice. I really was surprised at how well the rod casts.

    Default +2 on the Echo Gecko

    My 6 y/o and 7 1/2 y/o daughters each have echo gecko rods. These rods are fantastic, easy to load, easy to two hand and each has caught fish in the 18-20" range on those rods. Best of luck Dad!
