If it's a Shakespeare then it will be a good rod for the money.
In my opinion Shakespeare are an excellent rod making company and vastly underrated.
Had lots of Shakespeare rods and never been disappointed yet.
I'll second that
Just got a pair of Ugly Stik Elite 10ft spin rods and they are super strong (straight snapped 8lb line through them, even my flash carp rods couldn't manage that) yet with a very sensitive, delicate action. I use them as a small river rod for general coarse fishing and they are perfect, soft enough to handle (and enjoy) catching big silvers, yet easily powerful enough to tame big barbel and carp
well made up as they were only 50 quid each, and easily better than a lot of the cheap avon rods about, none of which really took my fancy
