Re-inventing the fishing pole
wrote:
With all her fishing success, my 9 yr old daughter has become wildly
excited about fishing. But, she has trouble casting. She has never
fished with anything but a Zebco 33 rod and reel so has no notion of a
cane pole. Being inventive, she decided to make a fishing rod she
could use by herself. A stick about 6' long, about 10' of line, a
bobber, sinker and hook. She decided to wind the line around a toilet
paper roll.
Encourage that. She might become an engineer. You should be proud.
It's wonderful to see that some kids will still try to invent a playtoy
or what not in this age where all the toys and games are so highly
specialized (and usually tied to a TV show or a movie).
