what's a good setup for fishing with my 5 year old

[UphillHabit]

I’m thinking about taking my little one fishing for the first time, but I’m pretty clueless about the whole process. I want to make it enjoyable and easy, especially since my kid is just 5. I passed by a local sporting goods store and saw some kid-sized fishing rods, but I'm not sure if they're worth it. If you have any go-to setups or advice for someone who's not too experienced, I'd love to hear it. Just looking for something simple that can help us have a fun day by the water!

You can use live bait or simple rigs

Cane pole, line,hook, cork (bobber to city folk) , bb size sinkers and worms. Fish from shore on pond or lake. Make a lot of good memories for very few $$

All you need is a kid-sized rod, bunch of patience, and enjoy the first fishing experience. That's it.

Cane pole, hooks, bobbers and line. Keep it simple. Bobber they can watch, keep it interesting. Most kids have the attention span of a gnat. Let them toss pebbles in the water, bring snacks and let them be kids. Take lots of pictures, they grown up too fast!
