I remember when my Dad (a hunter) bought me a fishing rod: I was in college. I guess he decided at a late age that you can fish longer in life than you can hunt, play baseball and work. Who knows. I do know that the rod was and still is 8' long #6wt. flyrod purchased at his favorite store back then--Sears & Roebucks. He asked a total stranger (customer) which rod should I buy my son. I was standing there a little surprised. I thought we were looking for a rachet wrench.
The gentleman was an older gentleman like my Dad. He looked at me, we walked over to the rack and he pulled off the rack the said rod. It was called Black Beauty by Pflueger--two piece rod, $25.00.-- I still have it, and I use it, among others.
You can tie on a small popper (floats) on a leader for a #6 line and catch 60 crappies in a row at Lake Grenada, MS. I lived in Mississip for awhile years later, and I did it.
Can you imagine a little girl or guy doing that? Hog heaven.
