Thanks to everyone for the help. I think I will have a decent enough plan, and enough tackle to get her started. With the attention span of the modern 7 year-old, this may not last long anyway, but she has been pretty dedicated thus far on our short fresh water outings. FinChaser, I love that new van staal you've got in that picture there! I'd heard they were getting into the youth fishing market, but didn't know it had happened already.
