Shakespeare Tackle Query

[Terry D]

Can anyone please help. I've been offered a Shakespeare Quartz Lite 2926 reel and a Shakespeare Bionic 30-50lb (1431.050) boat rod. Are these any good and what is a reasonable price to pay. I've been tolf they're in very good condition.
Kind regards, Terry D.

Sorry I've never used either
What price

 

[kenpm]

They are fairly old items possibly 6 or 7 years plus so price is dependant on condition really I would guess about £50 maximum for the pair if in excellent condition.

 

[Terry D]

No price as he doesn't know what they're worth, so I'm just trying to find out more about them.

Have you had a look on ebay to see if you can find similar?

That should give you a rough guide to the price.

 

[Terry D]

I found a Bionic rod on eBay going for £35, but absolutely nothing anywhere on the web about the reel. Anyone out there got any old Shakespeare tackle catalogues with info in? Any feedback very much appreciated.

Unless they are a bargain and of superior qualty( doubtful) I would buy new. That way you can choose an ideal rod and reel to suit your needs and ithey are likely to be better in every way!

Nothing made by shakespeare is superior quality!

 

[mikench]

Agreed but I have an 8 foot 4 piece ugly stick travel spinning rod and it is perfectly adequate for light spinning in the sea or freshwater for that matter. It is only 24 inches long and provided in a plastic tube.

...I take it, then, that you never held a Shakespeare Alpha rod from the seventies; or the Mach 2 and President match rods of the eighties? Wash your mouth out, young sir!

Is the Quartz Lite a multiplier, by any chance?
