I would suggest getting one of those kits in Walmart that look with the Zebco style fishing real. They usualy have cartoon character themes (i.e. Scooby Doo, Spongebob, etc.) The rod is about 3 feet long. A cane pole is way too long. My children all learned to cast one of these rods on their own at 3 years old. They can be taught if they are interested. My boys are casting 6 foot Zebco rods and they are not even 4 yet. I would get the smallest hooks possible. No bigger than a 1/8" in diameter. Use redworms. They are tougher and stay on the hook better. Only use a small piece of worm on the hook - 1/4" to 1/2". If you use a whole worm the fish will easily steal the bait. Use a bobber. Fish near any shoreline this spring and you will catch some bream. One of my sons will fish all day on the seawall if you let him. Sometimes he will catch 10 to 20 bream. All I have to do is bait the hook and he does the rest.
