Mine was a solid fiberglass casting rod about 5 feet in length and a old steel baitcaster on it.I was 9 years old.The first time I ever used it was with my father bank fishing with nightcrawlers. We never caught a thing until almost dark when I had my first bite. After setting the hook so hard I could have drug a boulder out of the river I hooked into a big fish,and after a good 30 second fight I landed it ,a 20 inch white sucker.My first fish.
