Great Value in a Fishing Rod

Shakespeare's Excursion Rods are a Gr8 value! The Excursions flat out work. Excursions are light for all day fishing. Excursion Rods cast well with a very nice whiplash action that increases ease of cast and distance. Excursions are plenty strong %26 durable, with a tough glossy finish on the rod, nice large, well anchored eyelets and durable easy to hold rubber grips. Don't exceed the lure weight specs %26 try to "bomb" it way out there. I broke a tip that way. Got another the next day!

if you need expensive stuff look elsewhere however... I've got two of these bad boys 1 7 ft and one 6'6" both spin rods, honestly I don't keep great care of them however over 5 years my 6 ft 6 has caught me more fish and is more comfortable for me to fish with then most of my expensive rods. the seven footer is newer for me but I've got the same quality out of it. I bought a 7-footer about 5 years ago with my six and a half foot rod and it broke trying to deck a fish but between the two for the price point I'm very happy

Good quality spinning rod

The Shakespeare Excursion spinning rod is a beautiful fishing rod! It is a nice solid rod and looks great! I got it all set up and can't wait to use it this summer!
