For what it’s worth, when I was into fishing years ago (you know…before I got married >>> sold the boat >>> sold the truck >>> bought a minivan >>> had a kid 🤪)

I was Abu Garcia fan for reels.

I don’t recall the rod brand but it wasn’t cheap 🤦🏻‍♂️

The bigger question is…what is nth context of your fishing?

Fly?

Freshwater?

Salt?

Deep riggin?

Shallows?

You like to sit and wait or cast and move?

So context will help you get better answer than I’m giving you 🥸

I bought a spincaster for my 7yr old son yesterday

Yep a spin reel is ideal to start

Brand doesn’t matter for a youngin
