My 6 and 3 year old boys are addicted to fishing. Last year I bought them Benny's specials with which they caught more fish last year than I caught before I was 30. At the RISSA Show, they fell love with the closed face reels at the casting booth (much easier to learn how to cast). So now the request for advice.
1. Am I crazy to buy closed face reels when 100% of their fishing is salt water?
2. Any recommendations for a $30-$40 combo? Where to buy?

Thanks in advance.
