Comments about Shakespeare Fishing Tackle Shakespeare Excursion Deluxe Travel Rod-Reel Kits:

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.
