I have a 13 yr old daughter and a 10 yr old son who adore fishing.
They have been using whips up to now, but i want to teach them some more skills.
Can anyone recommend a good junior set up please..

The good thing about the Korum kit is that its quality usable tackle and like you say contains everything your lad will need to hold his interest-You should of seen what i started with 45 years ago!!!!:)

Could be wrong:eek:, but most; if not all; reels (these days) can change the side the winder is on.

Thank you M,Lord...sounds like a great piece of kit for my daughter, was looking for a pink rod for her but they are the same price as the Mavers and to be honest as soon as she puts it down i will be picking it up : )

Ive been using a 12ft Shimano Hyperloop match and feeder for the past 8 yrs!!.
Will see how the new Maver float feels and maybe invest in the feeder too...have you used one?

I have a 12ft Maver Abyss X match rod and use it alot!
I've landed some really nice fish on this and can honestly say they are good rods for the money!
