My daughter loves to go fishing with me, so I decided it was time for her to learn to cast on her own. I bought a Johnson Citation rod and reel combo on sale at Wally World for 9 bucks. We were out in the front yard throwing a bell sinker, and it took her about a half hour, but now she can consistantly throw that thing about 30 ft. I even put a bobber on it for her to see if I could throw her off, but it didnt phase her. She is so excited at her accomplishment, and so am I. She is my best friend and fishing buddy. ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
