Shakespeare Service 1944 Reel Model EA Level Wind F*S Home_Decor and counterweight shaft are suppliedThis is a Tru Axis 1944 T Model EA Casting Reel by Shakespeare. It is a light saltwater, heavy freshwater level winding, star drag reel. One of the great ones to come out of Shakespeare. Overall this one is in extraordinary shape.

The handle spins freely and the clicker is strong.
