Hi there. I have a 8 year old son. I also shopped a long time for rods and finally found suitable ones. Okuma Tournament Pro 10 foot. The rod is very light and the butt section is shorter than the Velocity and other rods. This makes it very comfortable for him when casting. The other rods he had to take the butt halfway and that influence his action whan casting. Add a Shimano DL 4000 baitrunner and you have a very potent combination. My son is slenderly built and his casting have improved 200%.

Hope it helps.

I have to agree with James. I have that same combo he mentioned and it is POTENT! I doubt that I'll ever change that setup.
