About Me:
  • Avid Fisher
I took last year off fishing, This year I wanted a rod and reel that would stow in my car if I wanted to stop somewhere and flip some spinners at the fish. This does that and allows extra lures in the small tackle box inside. This arrived today UPS, (Fast shipping by the way!) I was at the door to meet the delivery man. Fifteen minutes later I had it strun with 30lb braided spider wire I ordered as well. (Yea, I know heavy line on a light reel? Go figure. An hour later I was on the lake picking off crappie and bass, as I went to check this rod and reel combo out. It performed so much better than expected!

Pros: Durable , Good Tip Action , Easy To Transport , Accurate Casting , Flexible , Sensitive , Lightweight , FUN

Cons: None

Best Uses: River Fishing , Small Fish , Large Fish

About Me:
  • Professional
This reel I understand is very inexpensive and there is a reason for that. All four of the bearings used in the manufacture of this reel are cheap steel. The lower bail gear does not even have a bearing! It is simply held in place by the plastic housing with a small boss. I have owned many Shakespeare products over the years and am generally very happy with them. This product does not fit into that category. This reel lasted me 4 good trips before it failed miserably. I clean and maintain all of my own gear as I must have reliable equipment during tournaments and such.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Poor Construction , Difficult To Maintain

Best Uses: River Fishing , Small Fish
