Why put this much quality in a children's fly fishing outfit? Well, there's a funny thing about kids. The easier things are, the more fun they have. And a rod built for kids is easier for kids to use. That's why we created the Minnow Outfit. It includes a 2-piece, 8-foot rod and a tough, unfussy Crosswater reel. The box even includes casting games and cut-out targets that you just might have trouble resisting, yourself.
