Shakespeare Ugly Stik Ugly Tuff™ Spinning Reel

By: The Angler

One of the oldest brands; if not the oldest, recently launched a spinning reel called Shakespeare Ugly Stik Ugly Tuff™. Famous for their unbreakable rods (Ugly Stik) back in the 80s to 90s; Shakespeare is well known for their pocket friendly price points rods and reels. They focus more on rods, gear, accessories, and not so much on reels (they do occasionally launch reels).

Shakespeare is also the champions of bringing families together via fishing with the Take A Kid Fishing, a well-known program in America. I am not sure if they still run this program but it certainly is nice to see them launch a new reel; the Shakespeare Ugly Stik Ugly Tuff™ spinning reel. Thumbs up to Shakespeare.
