100cm Omer XXV Gold. Slim (25mm), light, railed carbon barrel. Stainless steel spear. It would be a huge contrast to your wooden guns. Although 100cm it'll handle more like a 90, or 80 even. If your son is not big & beefy, he should appreciate the lightweight & slim handle (although works just as well if he is big beefy!). You can configure it as traditional closed muzzle or "on-trend" open muzzle, and have the option of using Omer screw-in rubbers or bulk rubber (both supplied with the gun). Good price too.

90-110cm RA (or other SA) railgun should be good, just read the US prices shot up though. Particularly good for very big fish. Consider a carbon barrel if the budget allows. The 16mm rubbers are pretty powerful esp. if your son is just starting out, can upgrade to 20mm or 2x16mm later if necessary - but don't rule out the single 16mm rubber, it might well be all you'll ever need.
