Location: Elkhart, IN | They can easily handle it at that age, my son just turned 9 and was using the 6500c5 reels. He caught seven last year with four of them coming on a Weagle. Here's his biggest which was on a Weagle at 41"

Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water | First of all, I'm honored that someone metioned the Nessa (thanx Sorenson).
I have introduced several kids, and newbies into the sport. Floatation/ slow sink rate is the key. "Profesionall Overruns" are common, as well as not syncronizing casts. So, without naming my own baits, here are my opinions:
1) Regular Manta (slow sink)
2) Shane West's Timberwolf Glider (a touch more difficult, but worth it)
3) 700 Bucher bucktail, or have Pewaukee Gerry make one or more up for you.
4) Doug Bradley's Bitten tackle Warlock (EXTREMELY easy glider)
5) some sort of floatin/ diving crank. there are a million good ones out there.
What also boosts confidence is having a bait painted up in the kid's favorite color scheme ( favorite team colors, school colors, etc.). The kid will have it "welded to his/ her line all day.
also, the more a kid can see how he/her is manipulating their lure is also important.
