Shakespeare Crusader Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo

Did some practice casting in the back yard. I am ready to put it to the test soon. This rod has a nice, smooth release and can fling a lure a long way. It's light and perfect for a quick trip for some bass or crappie fishing on a pond or lake. A nice rod for teaching a young angler some of the basics of casting.

This rig very closely resembles one I had as a kid, also a Shakespeare, with cork grips. I'm returning to freshwater fishing after an hiatus of about 35 years, so I'm beginning again, as a hobby in retirement not avidly pursuing a catch. The rig appears to be sturdy and travels well. I needed to change the line to one more sturdy and visible. Perhaps if I can improve my techniques I might level up to one of the more "sophisticated" rigs I reviewed on Amazon, but I'm good with this one now. PL Bullock, PhD

Haven’t used it yet but my bf was very happy with it

Absolutely garbage. Waist of my time and money. This pole should not be sold to anyone. It is junk.

I wanted to take my kids fishing, but those crappy disney rods won't cut it if you want kids to actually fish, so I found these and they worked great for us all summer. One of my kids even caught his first trout on one! He was excited but the reel was easy enough that he was able to reel it in just fine, and the action was perfect for the size of fish. The adjustments such as drag were very easy to use and figure out, and we haven't had any tangles yet.It's really hard to find something high quality for a low cost in 2019, but this is one of those few, remaining products that are great and not too pricey. I highly recommend this one.

Was working so good for trout fishing for a solid month. Used it about 5 times caught around 30 trout with it so smooth and nice to reel in and sensitivity. Well out of nowhere the reel stopped working. It does not lock in one position and goes back and forth causing my line to nest up

I bought this to replace another lightweight rod I broke ! This is superb for small lakes ans streams ! Great for trout in the high country ! Cast an amazing distance. Great addition to my 7 other poles !

I bought the 6'6" medium length pole. I have had this reel for several weeks and on the first outing a pin fell from the handle of the crank making the handcrank unable to engage with the shaft of the reel and unable to pull in line. I used a fish hook as a temporary measure and then a paperclip as a final fix. Amazon worked well with me on whether to return of keep this reel (i opted for partial refund.) The only other thing that hasn't worked as well as hoped is the line off the reel. Its very sensitive and when casting i can potentially dump out an extra 2 yards of line off the spool before engaging the reel. this has caused a couple of times where knots have been accidentally placed in the line. For under twenty bucks I have really felt like the pole and the cork and the whole set up are very good for what i'm fishing for. I have been using a sabiki rig and catching perch and shad. To date I've been able to lift out of the water simultaneously 3 hooked fish at about a pound and a half each. The line has been really good, i snagged a tree and it broke with probably 35-40 pounds of sustained tension. I can feel bites and the bottom of the river quite easily and there is plenty of play with the end of the pole when fish are fighting. The drag setting on the reel is inherently easy and fast to use also. Overall i would buy this again in a heart beat but i can't give it a fifth star with the two problems i've encountered.

Relación calidad de precio, para principiantes lo recomiendo

Es una caña muy bonita, trae hilo incluido, se siente muy ligera y resistente. La recomiendo ampliamente.

Took months to come from USA to UK when it arrived it was missing part of the reel

Le falta una pieza, la que sujeta la manija del carrete, lo demás al 100

Llegó muy bien y en muy buen estadoEra para un regalo y les encantó mucho
