blue fox tackle box Flambeau Outdoors 6382 2-Tray Box, 15 Compartments, and Gray Pro Picked Kits deliver top Flambeau NextGen Tackle Box Medium

Also handy for winding new line on your reels and for retrieving lines at the end of the day when you make the final pull

That said, my recommended Orvis Battenkill reel is a disc drag system

Its a high enough quality fishing rod to last a kid a decade or more, and its action is so smooth it will be fun to use throughout this period if it is looked after correctly

The balance point with the head out was just in front of my index finger when gripping the rod to cast, I therefore didnt have to alter my grip between casting and swinging

It probably doesnt help that I am a bit cak-handed, but it wasnt an issue, just slightly amusing
