Burger, you and Scott are correct of course about rod breakage around kids but if they are serious about learning to fly fish I believe quality is the route to go.
Someone mentioned above that cheap and inexpensive are not the same and I agree.

Here�s a good link to another forum pertinent to this discussion.

TFO has a new kid�s rod that is high quality and inexpensive � even a good starter rod for any age but for adults there are better choices due to small handle size IMO.
