I don't know about a 6 year old. Personally I would start with a spinning with a bubble and a fly, but if you want to get them started that young, a WalMart combo or the Eagle Claw and be sure they get some lessons on casting. I had a young man at the Library one night (we were teaching youngsters fly casting) He had to be maybe around that age and I showed him how to cast. He was a natural so I told him to keep it up. I went to the bathroom, when I came back he had worked up a sweat, but was still going, I had to laugh a little. He was so cute I wanted to take him home.
You need one long enough to cast some distance, but not to long for him or her to handle. And light enough that they don't have to struggle.
