Child's Fishing Rod?
My daughter just turned 4, and is now showing an interest in fishing. There is a large pond by my parents' house & she pretends to fish by poking a stick in the water! haha
We just saw a commercial for the "Bow Rod", but you have to order that ("as seen on TV" kinda thing). She immediately got excited and started talking about fishing again.
So, can anyone recommend a kid's fishing rod that would be good for a 4 year old girl to learn? I'd rather be able to just walk into a store & buy it, but I'm not against ordering one.

They sell all kinds of fishing rods at Wal-Mart for kids. They are just the right length for little ones. They have cartoon characters on them and usually come with a small tackle box and fake worms. This is what we got my kids and they loved them!

we got our son a rod for christmas. wal-mart had a great shakesphere/ugly stick for a reasonable price ($20). they are good rods and reels, i would get one over anything else. i don't think 4 is too young to go fishing, just don't expect to catch a lot. start with casting weights until she gets the hang of casting.

Go to Walmart... they have fishing poles for kids/toddlers.
That is where we got ours.
And it works fine.
Good luck,

i got my daughter's at walmart they wore between $10-$15 so if it gets broke no big deal. My hubby didn't understand and bought her a very high priced one and it broke in two weeks. She was around four at the time. and if she likes disney princesses they have them to for the same price.

We got one at Walmart or Kmart... not sure on the brand but it is a kids one and to my daughter's delight pink. Might have to wait till it is more in season to have the best selection. I would just take her along try them out and see what best fits her.

I would start with the inexpensive Disney character ones. THey are relatively easy to use and if broken they are pretty cheap.
My kids have been through a few and by the time she is 8 if she is really into it, your hubby can get her the good rods and reels.
Also if she really likes it, fishing lures are a great stocking stuffer. Mine get a new one every year. THey all have their tackle boxes too.

First you do not say where u r at! Be careful particularly if u r in Florida.
Alligators are doing a lot of harm. Or if you are living close to the swamp becareful of large snakes.
Secondly - make sure some one of responsibility is with her. She probably does not have the patience but a good thing to get her interest so in the future she can enjoy the sport.
Good Luck God Bless
