Shakespeare Baitcasting Reels

So you thought the only “Shakespeare” was the English author and playwright? However, there is another William Shakespeare that has also made his mark in history—in fishing history that is. William Shakespeare Jr. invented a system that has revolutionized the way fishing reels are made today. The Level Wind System allows for the fishing line to be wound back evenly onto the reel’s spool.

This William Shakespeare Jr. also invented a way to prevent overruns or backlashes with his braking system. Backlashing is a very common phenomenon that fishermen experience, when they cast their lines, and the spool stops rotating because the line runs off the spool at a too-slow pace or when the line just stops while the spool is still rotating as the lure reaches the water. Now, more than a hundred years later, Shakespeare’s company still makes some of the best baitcasting reels in today’s market, continuing the tradition of excellence and innovation that their founder began in 1897.

Similarly, the Shakespeare Dimension baitcasting reel is a five-ball bearing reel, also equipped with a one-way clutch instant anti-reverse bearing system.

Among Shakespeare’s round baitcasting reels is the Catera. The Catera has two ball bearings and a one-way clutch anti-reverse bearing. This is sturdier as it is made from anodized aluminum and has rigid chrome-plated brass pillars. Its spool is machined and anodized aluminum. It has precision machines brass gears, and on and off bait clicker, an adjustable four-pin centrifugal anti-backlash control, and a smooth main gear applied star drag system.

The Crappie Hunter 10 and 20 models have a chrome-plated metal frame, a selective on and off bait clicker and an anti-reverse system.

These reels are made for light weight lures and have a line capacity of either two hundred and thirty or one hundred yards. Its gear ratios are 1:0:1 and 4:0:1 respectively.

What seems to be missing from Shakespeare fishing reels line are baitcasters that will do well in salt water conditions. They also have very limited reels for heavy lures. Nevertheless, they still manage to make durable and high quality reels that are worth checking out.
