ShakespeareMicro Spinning Rod

We’ve been catching bass all summer with Micro series 4.6” , 6.6” and 7’. With no issues at all.In fact I decided to buy 2 more 7’ because we like them so much rigged with spinning reels.Great casting and fish fighting. If you are new to Graphite rods remember that the tip is the most fragile. Never grab the rod by the tip or catch it in the car, step on it or whatever. Other than that I can only recommend it for the price you can’t beat it .

Great length and fixability love the action of this rod rated at 4- 10 pound line i have it matched with a Piscifun Flame Spinning Reel model 2000 And spooled with 8 pound test Kast King Fluorokote great match for rod so sweet just bought another the 7 foot lite

Got a chance to use this for shore fishing as I intended. I'm still up in the air about it. Here's the deal:I've got a couple other rods set up. I grab either one and make a cast, they act the same way. This rod, when I cast with the same timing, shoots the lure into the water maybe 5 yards in front of me at high velocity. It doesn't seem to flex, that is "load up" with a jig or jig and bobber. So, my heavier medium rods flex more than this light one.So, I tried again a day later, To get any distance with this rod, I need to release the line sooner and stop the rod more vertical. This is the first rod (of many) that behaves this way. Adding a split shot helps, but it seems to want more weight than the rated to get any spring. It is the longest rod I own, except for my fly rod, and that's probably part of it. It's very light and very stiff for it's weight. I haven't decided it's bad, just different. I'll have to work with it and see what happens. The ultra light might be more familiar, flexy, but where I fish for crappies, occasionally a northern pike decides crappie bait looks good, so I didn't want to go too light. It's built well, as I'd expect from Shakespeare. Maybe I'm just behind the times. but my recent ugly stick seems fine. I'm gonna try bigger jig heads and see what happens.

This is a horrible product. The fishing pole broke the first time I used it. It just snapped with no pressure. Don’t buy it. If I could give it no stars, I would.

I got this rod 7’, a 2500 spin reel and 10pound braided line. Great light rod to get the job done and have a ton of fun. The rod feels great and at the low price if it breaks oh well! I’m loving it so far!

Absolutely amazing rod for the price! It casts really nice with 6lb mono with 2000 or 2500 reel. Perfect for fighting trout!

Great rod for the basic angler. I have purchased several of these over the years and have no regrets.

Rod was shipped in an 8'x10"x10" box loose. Delivered with the box bent and half the rod sticking out through a hole in the end. The rod tip and two guides damaged plus a lot of damaged epoxy along the rod guides.
