Comments about Shakespeare Fishing Tackle xxShakespeare Prius 20 Ultra Light Spinning ReelDisc.:

I live in Central Florida (Orlando) but only fish salt water. I think now after using the both of mine S 250 and the S 4230 that they are well worth the money. Best part about mine they came pre spooled with 2 and 4 pound test line. I dont know what kind of line Shakespear uses on their reels but both of mine were red (real easy for these old eyes to see) and appeared to be a better than average quality. The line ties real easy and the knots hold well. Both reels wind smooth as silk....a real pleasure to use.

bad line guides
By little coxey's guide serviceVerified Reviewer from lake mattoon il on 10/24/2008

Good Value
Cons:
Low Quality
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Shakespeare Fishing Tackle xxShakespeare Prius 20 Ultra Light Spinning ReelDisc.:

I am a fishing guide, so my reels get alot of use. the round guide that the line runs over, hwen the bail is closed, will wear out. It is made of a softer metal than should be used. After much use a groove will develop, causing the line to be damaged will reeling in a fish. I have been looking for replacements, but have had little luck. This is the same reel with the model # 200A, that is sold at [...].

Comments about Shakespeare Fishing Tackle xxShakespeare Prius 20 Ultra Light Spinning ReelDisc.:

Being new to ice fishing (but not fishing in general) I was looking for a decent reel at a good price. This was available on sale and I picked it up along with a ShakeSpeare Ugly Stik Lite Ice. I caught several nice fish and they all reeled in just fine.

Comments about Shakespeare Fishing Tackle xxShakespeare Prius 20 Ultra Light Spinning ReelDisc.:

It is balanced very well for rods from ice fishing rods to 5' ultra light rods, it has a smooth retrieve but in stronger currents encountered in streams you will have to play with the drag system (pay attention)it is still a smooth drag but some might feel it soft or a little light, but for the price of the reel you get a good bang for your buck.
