My 5 year throws this underhand Quantim Ultra Light a champ. He has been using it for a few years. I have also caught many sac au lait on this set up.. I highly recommend this for any 5 yo.

My bad. Didn't catch that in the op. That reel couldn't handle a red. But it could prob stand up to specks

I would think that they make that style reel in a more heavy duty model though.

Mine uses the sponge bob set up, it holds up quit well in salt water and it's easy to throw. Trust me I have been through at least 10 other models and this one has been the best, last at least 20 trips and they are cheap!

My son has a Zebco saltfisher 733, the combo came with 20# mono, 6'6". It can definately handle good size reds.
