Re: Shakespeare?
It is a nice reel SK, but I can't help on this one.

Re: Shakespeare?
They are OK. I had the higher-spec Europa once (the same reel as Yates caught his first twenty pounder on) and it was surprisingly smooth and well-built - far better than the Intrepid Elite, though not in the same class as the Ambidex, Mitchell or Altex. I don't know who made these early Shakespeare reels, but they were also sold under the Galion and Winfield brands.
