The Shakespeare Fishing Rod is a versatile and high-quality piece of equipment ideal for freshwater fishing. This 10ft spinning rod is designed for both hand retrieve and features a moderate fast rod action, making it suitable for catching carp and pike. The rod is made of a durable composite of graphite and fibreglass, with an EVA foam handle for a comfortable grip. With a medium heavy rod power and a full grip style, this rod offers a great balance of performance for both men and women anglers, very lightweight and easy to cast, I would recommend 6-12 pound line for this rod.
