I own one of them -- they are called inner cast spinning rods.

[size 1]I'm not so sure that I would want to purchase one for a young child. If you think that tangles are a problem, wait until you have to keep rethreading the line through an inner cast rod! It also seems to have some extra drag with braided super lines (the only line that I have tried on it thus far). One can not reach up and hold the line, near the reel as conveniently as with a regular fishing rod. It does have a good feel to it with the line going around the curve of the rod, rather than going from eye to eye.[/size]
