The 580 MINNOW is the perfect rod for young anglers. It's built with enough power to throw a wide variety of flies, but the shorter 8' length offers less swing weight to make it easier for casters of smaller stature to make effective stops at the end of their casting stroke.
"Great rod for young clients and my son too! Highly recommend for the up and coming angler"

Solid outfit
"I purchased a couple outfits for when I have young anglers on an outing. Fit and finish are good, medium action rod with a nice bright color that can be found when it’s set down, the foam hand grip is comfortable and sized with smaller hands in mind. Line is a little tough to straighten out, lots of memory but floats great, can’t speak to the durability of the outfit yet time will tell. I think it’s a solid outfit that hits its intended use."

Important tool for the youth angler!
"The minnow’s shorter length combined with 5 weight stoutness really helped our 9 year old’s casting and mending from the drift boat. What we lost in reach and distance we made up for in control, comfort and ultimately - fun! Highly recommend for smaller, developing anglers."
— John G. (5/5)
