My Son’s Latest Addition to the Family Arsenal
We went to our home lake on Saturday, 05-29 so that my son could try his new fishing rod, the newest addition to the family arsenal of “Weapons of Bass Destruction.” This is gear not for the faint of heart fly fisherman or pursuer of pan fish (please note I am only teasing). We were hoping he would catch his first bass.
 Weapons of Bass Destruction -- Forget the Curado 101D casting reel mated to a 7’ Mag-Touch graphite handled rod, or a Rapala S6xi matched to a 6’6” Compre rod. Who needs such weapons if you have Batman on your team?  My son with his new rod Despite the overcast skies, my son thoroughly enjoyed and seemed to only care about making long casts, chuckling and giggling as his bait went from launch to landing on the water a country mile away. Unfortunately we didn’t catch anything during his 40-minute attention span, which is pretty good for a 5-year-old, especially when there is a playground close by. We headed to the playground for a little jungle gym fun and did other father and son things all day long.

Sounds like you have a potential bass pro on your hands! P.S. He is adorable! I can only hope my nephew loves fishing too when he reaches that age.

If he loses anymore, the Legion of Doom might take over the planet. I also got him a Zebco 33 so that I could switch the handle to the other side. Like father, like son. Casting reels ought to be coming soon. His sister who is now 10, learned to use a casting reel at 6.
