I need a bit for my 5yr old ... I'm using this bit currently
http://www.tackstop.com/cervissg22ss.htm It is way to much gag for him and he is being very touchy now. So I need something with NO gag as he is very sensitive. I'm almost thinking a hack would be something to look at but i don't know at the moment. So if you have some idea of a soft bit that has no gag. That is not severe? Preferably with a dogbone.
http://www.tackstop.com/bitr736.htm That's a nice lifter bit with no gag if you're needing the lift from your old bit.
http://www.lwbits.com/Lift-Bits.html 182 and 184 look like good candidates as well.
228 might be an option.
I know you don't want gag, but what does he need around the barrels? Lift, rate, flex, etc?

http://www.tackstop.com/bitr733.htm That's probably your best option before going in to reining bits with the solid shanks.

Sherry cervi short shank with dog bone might work
