Shakespeare Micro Spinning Rod

Rod tip has a crack. Poor packaging

I've had several of these rods and I love them. They have a really nice action and are extremely light weight. I can attest to their backbone, recently I landed a 24lb channel cat on the 7' model. I had 20lb braid mainline with a 10lb copolymer leader and always a light wire circle hook. It took me 12 min. to land and the micro light performed admirably. Look forward to catching many more bad boys with these actions. I'm fishing mine instead of my G. Loomis in situations like above because if I brake it I don't feel near as bad replacing it.

would recommend to any new fishermen new or old to fishing .

These little rods are great. Strong enough to handle up to 2lb catfish & bass.

I was shocked at how good this rod looked and felt. For the price it is amazing. Less than $21 including taxes and delivered. Terriffic!!

Absolutely a great rod at a bargain price! A joy to use for my ultralight fishing.I was researching to buy an ultralight rod and from the advice of utuber i.fish, I purchased this rod in the 7 foot light action and couldn't be happier with my purchase.Great action and super easy to flick out 1/32 to 1/16 ounce jig heads with soft plastic bodies 50 to 60 ft. I've used this rod with several spinning reels trying 2 lb SOS mono, 4 lb fluorocarbon, and 6 lb braid with a 12' to 15' fluorocarbon leader. All are easy to cast, retrieve, and catch fish!A super value and though I have more than enough rods, I will likely purchase other versions of this great little rod!The only minor complaint I would have is the knurled plastic nut the secures the reel needs to be tightened periodically when fishing. There is no secondary locking nut, just the one plastic nut. The rod is so good in all other respects, I won't even reduce a star for this minor shortcoming of the rod.
