Father-Daughter Fishing Trip
What a cute little rod! It also made an effective tool. If your daughter doesn't want to paricipate in a fishing trip, getting her a rod like this might help persuade her. This just proves that if you're a skilled enough fisherman, it doesn't matter what you use to get the job done.
