New to fishing, what type of rod/reel for me and kid

[Rlw215]

U can't go wrong with the zebco 33 at Walmart or academy for about 10 bucks. I've fishing with those since I ditched the Mickey mouse rod. Replace the line with 8 to 12 lb monofilament and if something yanks the pole out of the Lil ones hands ur only out a small amount of money. I wouldn't recommend using the poles for big stripers but I've battled big cats and several 10 lb bass on them over 150 crappie last weekend over 14 in. I'll send u a pic of what the old zebco 33s can for sure do. Happy fishing to the both of you!!! let me know if u have any other questions..
