Hi,
I have 6 Shakespeares And I Like them because I switch them be tween my Walleye and Salmon Rods and they read in and out.

I've got both models that are on the market. Also two line counter reels. The Shakespeare is the one I perfered. It's just a little easier to use, especially at night. The small one with the wheel you wrap the line around also gets the job done. If you are going to use one a lot, you'll be happier if you just go get a line counter reel and be done with it. Once you start using a line counter, you'll be using it more and more, they are nice. Don't forget to get one of those crank bait trolling books.
