Rod Length for Children

Rods from 5ft to 7ft are the easiest length for younger children to hold and cast, and telescopic combos pack down short for carrying to the water. Older children can handle the 9ft and 10ft float and feeder combos used on commercial lakes and canals.

Which Kind of Fishing

Float and feeder combos are made for silver fish, bream and small carp on lakes, canals and rivers. Light spinning combos throw small lures for perch and trout, and pier and boat combos take mackerel feathers and small baits at the coast.

Starting Out

A float rod on a well-stocked commercial lake gives a young angler regular bites from roach, rudd and small carp. Our guide to the best fishing rods for beginners compares the leading starter rods for every kind of fishing.
