I started my son at 3, and now my daughter is now 3 it's her turn. She can't sit still for a long period of time like my son does so it's going to be fun.

So i can start teaching my 2yr old?

Absolutely! 8-)

Nate, NOW is the perfect time to get him started i started when i was 2 and was winning my age group tourneys when i was 4. Take him to the lake and get him a bobber and meal/wax worms and let him catch bluegill! Make sure to pick a nice day when you think a lot of fish will hit. It will make it more enjoyable for both of you. Once he is old enough work on his casting techniques of different rods. Set him up a target and see how close he can get. Bass Masters Kids Casting Tournaments is a good thing to compete in for accurate casters.

Also get him a reel(no line) and let him reel it in the house or whatever so he gets used to holding it and reeling it. That is what we are working on now with my niece(spinning reel) and she is 2.5yrs old(plus it should keep him entertained for a while!

Hope this help!

I took my lil one to BPS the other day to get a rod and she picked up a 5ft bps pole *pink of corse* she WOULD NOT put it down, she wouldnt even let the cashier take it to ring it up! lol

Had to coax her with pink worms - so she is fitted (like a pink panther) hope we catch somthing (gona go for cat in our stocked pond) next weeked.

How often do kids break poles? My 2yr old girl likes to wack things with it such as the truck the dog her mom....

My son is due in a month, is 1 day old to young?  

I can't wait until he's old enough to get out there.
