Product Description

Elevate your angling and catch more fish with the Shakespeare Alpha low profile fishing rod and bait cast reel combo. Offering premium performance at a fantastic value, this convenient rod and reel combo bundles a pre-spooled bait cast reel with a durable, responsive rod. Both the rod and the reel are built to excel in a wide range of angling settings-from leisurely freshwater daytrips to rugged offshore voyages on the open seas. The rod's tubular glass blank construction provides a sensitive yet durable design, while the bait cast reel's graphite frame delivers exceptional rigidity under pressure. The reel comes pre-spooled with 8-Pound line, so you can start fishing right away. Its adjustable magnetic cast control allows you to cast with superior precision and range, while its multi-stop anti-reverse helps eliminate back play for silky-smooth reeling. Thanks to its comfortable EVA grips, this fishing rod and reel combo offers a firm, comfortable handhold ideal for all-day fishing excursions.

Ok combo for the price
Ok, don’t get me wrong I like this combo, if you are a beginner it’s not hard to use, easily adjustable, and really if you break it, it was $30.Dislikes: No matter your settings anything over 12lb test will back lash. Compared to my black max by abu Garcia that I only paid $50 for the same exact setup as this one, it’s night and day. The alpha has nothing smooth about it, it makes noise, it’s clunky, the grips for reeling get very slippery very fast. And last but not least, the handle of the rod is too short, and not comfortable to get your hand around the reel.Things I like: it was $30, I use it for Texas rigs and other lighter baits that I can use lighter line for.The hook keeper is off to the side instead of on the front so your line won’t catch it and and cause more backlashes. However, this is a $30 rod and reel combo, so just be careful as to how you set it up.I will say this, with the issues, they seem minor, I use this rod and reel combo everytime I go out fishing, and haven’t had anything break on it or anything, yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT COMBO!! GREAT FOR BEGINNERS!! MUST LEARN HOW TO ADJUST 1st!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020
This is a great bait caster combo!! Unbeatable price! I caught my first largemouth Bass (ever) on it today at the lake! (In the pics) While I was also keeping my 4 and 2 year old occupied by myself! And I was using the fishing line that came pre-spooled!!! Less than 5 casts with a Kastking spoon (silver) and BAM!! THIS IS NOT A SPINNING REEL and it operates totally different.. You have to watch a couple YouTube videos before using to Learn how to use it and avoid birds nests and getting upset.. with ANY bait caster from cheap to expensive you have to Make adjustments on the tension knob and possibly the brakes for EVERY lure!! OR ELSE YOU WILL GET A BIRDS NEST or not get a good cast.. It’s very simple once you understand how it actually works. I just started fishing about 4 months ago.. so I am no pro at all.. but I was casting this spoon SUPER FAR and I mean Far! it was reeling in ultra smooth.. ZERO BACKLASH once proper adjustments were made for this specific lure.. I highly recommend this bait caster for anyone looking to learn how to use one or anyone who just wants a new setup without spending much money!! GREAT DEAL!! I’m SUPER HAPPY 😁😁😁😁
