Shakespeare ATS Trolling Reel

JUST SHUSH UP AND LISTEN TO ME, you can't find a conventional reel with a THIRTY INCH retrieve under 100 bucks, it doesn't exist! Abu Garcia?? Piscifun? Are you kidding me? This reel has almost twice the drag and 4inches more per turn than the Ambassadeur at half the price! Meanwhile, the Piscifun Chaos has a plastic line guide, weak bite clicker, uncomfortable skinny metal drag wheel, overall quality component issues, and is 10 dollars more expensive. Whoever is in charge of marketing this should be ashamed. There is no reason for this reel to not be the undisputed default fishing reel.... Infuriatingly well designed, and reasonably priced.

I’ve used these reels two seasons now, with no problems. I love that everything is kinda oversized. They cast pretty descent too, for a line counter reel. My wife uses and loves these too. Very loud bait clickers too, if u need those. I mostly love the fact that they’re cheap. If one tears up, I’ll just buy another. Like I said I’ve had these two seasons with no troubles at all

This is the second ATS 30 Trolling Reel I have owned in the past year. When I first bought it I expected to use it for "light" fishing offshore. Even though the reel had a drag rating of 20lbs, I was hesitant to believe that was true for a reel under $50, and even if true, that it would break under that much pressure. So I took it with me for "light" use on a 40hr offshore party boat trip. We hit the first stop, and I was reeling up decen 4-5lb mangrove snapper, without and drag being pulled. This reel is worth its weight in GOLD! My uncle and I hammered fish after fish with a pair of these reels! I was reeling up a fish and an amberjack intercepted halfway up, which I thought I was as good as done with my reel. The drag worked flawlessly! Did not catch the fish, probably was a big one as it damn near spooled me before I had to apply additional pressure to the line to snap it. After catching over 200 fish over the trip, I for sure thought it would break! Never gave up on me. I been using it for inshore grouper fishing and the gears stripped on the reel, somehow still got the 28in grouper up and home on a plate. For under $50 definitely worth trying out! The image is not correct on here for the ATS 30, which I was quite happy about. With the ATS 30 you get the nice big power-handle, not the two sided handle. I am definitely recommending this reel. If you are on a budget and can't afford a $200 reel, this is the one to get!

This reel casts effortlessly and works well with reeling in all different sized sinkers and fish 🎣 I am just trying to get used to the depth clicker on it, it’s noisy and we have a depth finder on the boat but I suppose it’s a good addition if your fishing without a boat! Overall it a solid reel and hasn’t given me any issues, smooth drag, no tangles, hasn’t jammed or any other problems.

Looks good, feels sturdy enough for the price. It seems like it will be easy to service. Comes from a reputable brand and feels like it hold up long enough to learn how to use this type of reel without a major investment. Budget catfish reel for me. I will probably buy another soon.

Been using for a while and it’s still works great

The line counter is very cheap, if I bump it, the line count will change by several feet as the line is going out.

Great product at a great price.

Great fishing reel to use for trolling line counter works perfectly

Justo lo que ofrecen

Looks and feels good and works good except for the line counter. It's way out of calibration which is disappointing because that's why I bought this reel.

Great reel, no complaints.

Counter mechanical, no battery required
