Since 1897, Shakespeare has been the leader in quality, affordable fishing tackle.
Our inspiration comes from 115 years of passion and experience.
From Ugly Stik, to our Catch More Fish kits, to our best in class line of licensed kid's products (including Disney, Barbie, Spiderman, Star Wars and Batman) Shakespeare offers something for the whole family and all levels of experience.
Our objective is clear: Make fishing simple and enjoyable.
I love every video i see skips past the wrapping it around the reel part cuz they know it takes much longer than a wuick simple thing i cant even wrap my braided line around it cuz it keep going out the back of my reel or out some random hole in my reel instead of wrapping around
At 2:10, talking about the line coming off the spool, "in the direction that we talked about earlier", but you NEVER mentioned it. That's what I mostly wanted to gain from this video.
let me add an old trick I learned to doing this spinning or bait casting reel. Pull out enough line to cover the distance of your kitchen or dining room table. Set a big book (Websters Collegiate Dictionary works good or a think set of Yellow Pages from a big city). Run the line through the book with the spool on the other side of the book. Spool on the line. The book provides the drag to keep tension on the line which spooling it on. I put it about 1/3 to 1/2 way through the book. Need more drag? Put the string deeper in the book. Less drag? move it toward the front of the book a little. Hardest part for me on this video is my old 77 year old hands woulda been a lot happier with that yellow twine instead of the 8# test line I was loading in tying those knots.
I just bought this exact rod but the thing is it came with the line already spooled but when I try to set it up nothing happens. (I’m kind of new to fishing plz help)
I am speechless. This is utterly on of the most fantastic videos I have ever watched. With the knowledge and wisdom I have obtained, I can die knowing I have lived a fulfilling and productive life.
how can you tell if its 1/8 of an inch!? should you stop to measure so you don't make any mistake!? also i think it would be best just to buy a reel prespooled to make things quick and easy!!
Does my white privilege entitle me 2 have someone do this for me orrrr am I on my own again, Im desperately searching for that dam privilege it’s gotta be somewhere 🤔😂
