I think the Ocean Side tackle store closed. But I have not been in the Harbor for several years and there may be one there. My boat was in O'side Harbor. There are several around the docks in San Diego. Check West Marine website they have a spinning combos starting around $45. I know a bit higher than Zebco. At her age she is most likely not going to remove the fish from the hook or bait it herself at first. Part of the life and death part is teaching them it is food or give them the choice to catch and release. To release hold the fishing by the mouth and try not to remove the slime from their bodies. I can understand the cheap. My kids did not have much choice but to learn since they grew up fishing, camping and boating.
. One of my daughters friends almost pulled a 200 lb thresher shark into out boat. LOL, that's another story...
