Most set-ups come with some bailing wire 12# that you couldn't cast if your life depended on it. Kids snag allot and might need 10# (Trilene XL) but if they mostly fish panfish and shoreline bass, gills and the like, go down to 8#. Remember, a kid can't cast that cork-screw stuff that comes on most reels from the store. Give 'em a fighting chance to have a good time.
