Hello lads.
As a new guy to the board, and to spey rods, I would like to ask a question . My eyes POPPED out when my Diamondback arrived as did my 8 year old sons eyes. He wants to cast whenever he can(in the snow in the backyard). He loves it, as do I.
My question is,,,, when is it time to start a youngster with his own rig??? What would be some suggestions for a starting outfit?? 11'6: 6wt, 7wt? something like that?? Even though he likes it, is he just too young???? As a proud papa, I would never discourage him of any pursuit and am thrilled about finding a two-hand outfit for him. Should I?? Or should i just keep him at the 6wt single-hand for now. Looking forward to your views and opinions.

At 8 years old, he sat through Derek Browns, and the Rio tape in one sitting. He didnt care for the bagpipes though
