i got one. i was about 12 which was only 14 yrs ago but me and my father were trolling tube & worm in buttermilk bay catching schoolie after schoolie. By younger cousin she was about 9/10 at the time wanted to try one. We set her up and began a pass when the rod was doubled over. and looked like it was going to pull her into the bay. When my dad realized there was a decent fish on the end he tried to help her and she began to yell at him! He laughed and then just held the top of the reel seat for some support while she cranked on the reel. Fish was landed and measured 48" and was released. We got back to the dock and no one believed us.
