Shakespeare Fishing Rods

When you think about what you want from your rod, what do you think of? You need versatility in a fishing rod that will allow you the convenience to go from fishing for smaller fish to larger species without the need to switch rods. You also need the flexibility that allows you to read the movements of your rod so that you can almost feel the movements of the fish in the water. In this regard, Shakespeare rods deliver both very consistently.

There is nothing more impressive than being able to see a rod bent into a circle. I know that with inferior rods you can try, but all you will accomplish is a broken rod and a huge mess. With Shakespeare rods however, they have built a reputation on being able to do just this. It is the rare rod that can be bent so completely and still have the interior strength it needs to pull in big fish; however, Shakespeare rods are capable of that and more.

The Ugly Stik line of Shakespeare fishing rods has really given the company the publicity and reputation for excellence that it deserves. There are many different Ugly Stik models which give you the capacity to handle anything that North American Freshwater fish can throw at you. In fact, in this line alone, there are more than 50 actions available so that you have plenty to choose from.

From the 6’6” Ugly Stik CAL 1102 Model which can handle a huge range of lighter weight fish such as trout or walleye to the Ugly Stik Big Water Heavy Duty Freshwater Rod Series that can handle the massive bass or muskie that haunt lakes and rivers, you can be sure that your Shakespeare Ugly Stik will not let you down.

But what is the secret to the strength and flexibility of the Ugly Stik and the Shakespeare fishing rod line in general? The secret lies in the fact that these rods are made entirely from graphite instead of the composite rods that so many other companies offer. The company went to 100% graphite in 1999 and it is the use of graphite as material for the rods has resulted in the flexibility and sensitivity that these rods are famous for. It is the Ferruless process which gives these two piece rods all of the sensitivity of a one piece rod while making them much easier to store and transport. The Clear Tip design also increases the feel and sensitivity of the rods that this company manufactures.

Adults have been using these rods since 1976. The good news is that children can also enjoy the amazing quality of the Ugly Stik because the company is now offering Ugly Stik Junior kits. Or, if they would rather, they can also take advantage of the Ugly Stik Tiger kit which is also suitable for children as well.

You could very well say that Shakespeare fishing rods are designed for the family!
