Good eye man and it's a fantastic setup for young kids. My daughter recently turned three and wanted to go straight to a Spinning Setup.
Okuma Safina Pro - Ice Fishing Reel
Okuma Celilo - Ultra Light
My brother got this setup for her birthday and it's the first time out. It's an incredible light setup and for her size and age she seems to handle it pretty easily. For Sub $60, it's a fantastic setup for her and I'm starting to become a big fan of the Okuma brand.
Edit: I'm also a Giant, 6'6" so it also makes the rod look small.
I backpack, so I never want to spend a lot on a rod. If you are OK buying at the lower end of things THESE Okumas work pretty well for me
My spinning setup for trout is an Okuma Celilo 6' 6" Ultra light and whilst it is only $30 I would class it amongst most of the rods in the $75-150 price range. It's an extremely good rod for the money. I actually got mine from walmart when I was on a trip to the US. Originally I was planning on just using the rod while I was there then giving it away before I came back to Australia but since I like it so much I brought it home. I've had two more shipped over from the US as well because they don't sell them here and an equivalent rod here would be about three times the price with shipping. I've just paired one of mine up with a Shimano Sedona FE 1000 which is a new reel to the market but so far I'm very impressed. I have it some 4lb Fins Windtamer Braid on mine which when I just look for on amazon is on $5 at the moment which is very cheap. Normally it's around $17 a spool. I just bought 4 spools but there's still two left so you could get the rod, reel and braid for $100.
Lightweight Okuma never did me wrong. Great little rod and affordable.
If you wanna spend $20 more you can reach for the Tica Ultra-Light Weight. I've had both and no complaints.
