Post by: leaseman on November 18, 2004, 02:11:16 PM
Need help with some ideas for christmas presents for my 10 year old son...something fishy (I think he has more fishing gear now than I do!)

Thanks

Is there such a thing as 'kid sized' multi tool?
It can be used fishing and for lots of other things.

I think you and your son should both get a fly setup for xmas. You would be amazed at the differance and the new challenges that await you.

Your son is about 10 if I remember correctly.  Get him a 5/6wt fly rod.  Pinks are in next year and he'll have a hoot.   Start with a medium action rod it will be more forgiving to the begining fly chucker.  You should be able to get a deal from your freind ;)  He should be convinced to provide lessons too 8)  I've got my wife convinced to buy me two bar fishing rods for my B'day or Christmas (close together).

I am sure there is such thing as a kids multitool, but I have not seen one. The [url]Leatherman Juice would probably be a good choice as it is compact and retails for under $100.

Heres the site:
