    Reels for kids off the beach

    All,
    Am heading to Fraser later this month & will be having a fish off the beach ( something I don't do all that often).
    The kids will be having a fish also & I know whats in stall if I let them use egg beaters.
    So I'm after a couple of cheap alveys, but which model?

    Not after anything expensive as they would hardly be used otherwise as all our other fishing is blue water.

    Heath.

    Just borrow some of your mates. I'm sure there are enough AFers on the coast to help you out. If not I'm sure I can rustle up a few rods and reels from Brisbane area

    No use buying the nasty cheap combos.

    Cheers

    Might be more than you're willing to spend but good old kmart have alvey 11ft rod + light surf reel for about $140... I used to have a combo very similiar when I was 13.

    The 5 inch plain or the 6inch plain, depending on the age/size of the kids.
    The 5 inch is quite capable if they can phsically handle the rod and reel.
    Will last way longer than a cheap eggy under the same conditions!
    Cheers.

    Id say go for a 600B if they are fishing for tailor and dart, But if they are going for mainly smaller general stuff and whiting in the gutters in close, perhaps try a 55B or a 500B. nice and light, strong, and fairly well priced.

    cheers
