I need a decent but relatively inexpensive bank fishing rod, and also another that a 7 year old can operate and handle. Any suggestions?

there's about 9000 options at the local farm and hunting store but figured I'd ask here first if anyone has experience with a certain type or brand that they liked.
I'm sure they would all be fine, but still.

I have an Image Professional with an open face Shakespeare reel, and an Eagle Claw collapsible with an old and reliable Zebco 33. Kids like the push button--and so do I on the 33 because I like to bike to lakes.

To you smart people on the The Great Outdoors thread.....
I have windows that face north and windows than face west. I am on the 50th floor.
I have been told spiders don't climb up the 50 floors and they get up here by being blown around.
Typically wind/s blow in from the west.
I currently have spiders in 4 of my 6 north facing windows. None in the west windows.
In each/every of the 4 windows, they have spun webs and are hanging out in the top right corner of the windows. Why there?

Prevailing winds. They are angling for surprised insects. May be shaded too. I would think at 50 stories, the West wind is cyclonic often, much better when cut.

so I've got a bunch of wild strawberries in my yard this summer.
They're fruiting and everything.
But, despite checking them daily, I still haven't found a single ripe one I get to eat.
Seems the varmints is quicker than me.

okay, since it's come to this, and since I'm so dumb and unproductive and unmotivated, just give it to me straight, like for real:
what else should I be doing to get them strawberries?

‘Absolutely incredible’: Man rowing solo across Atlantic is surrounded by whales
Tom Waddington is on a quest to row across the Atlantic Ocean all by himself — but on Sunday, he found plenty of company at sea, when a pod of pilot whales thronged around him. They followed him for hours, growing from a few playful animals to hundreds of large creatures. At least one smacked into his small boat.
The whales popped their heads above the surface and seemed to play together — a gam of whales, gadding about — as Waddington, who is rowing some 2,000 miles from the Newfoundland coast to Penzance, in the United Kingdom, watched in amazement.
