Comments about Shakespeare Fishing Tackle Shakespeare Ugly Stik Big Water Fly Rods:

I have fished with these rods around and in Lake Ontario for over 15 years. I've given away 3 to nephews. I will loan them to anyone because I have seen the abuse they will take. If you break one of these rods,(8-12#wt.) you will be embarrassed to tell anyone how you did it, because they won't break with a fish on up to thirty pounds! Perfect rod for any child or first time Salmon or Steelhead fisherman.

Comments about Shakespeare Fishing Tackle Shakespeare Ugly Stik Big Water Fly Rods:

Nicely fitted out for the price. Good quality cork, nice fighting butt, beautiful finish. This is my second Ugly Stik fly rod. I also have the 6/7 weight. I like the up locking reel seat on the Big Water rods better than the down locking seat on the 6/7 weight rod. Shakespeare really needs to make these in four pieces for the traveling fly fisher.
