Shakespeare is one of the most popular and renowned manufacturer of fishing equipment. Based in Columbia, South Carolina, it was established in 1897 and has been consistently providing quality products since then. The company was started by William Shakespeare Jr. who by 1896 had been actively fishing since 27 years. Shakespeare wanted to develop better fishing reels. Working on that he came out with a device which helped in winding the fishing line evenly back on the spool. His design was superior to any similar product existing in the market and he was wise enough to patent it right away. His foresight is commendable if you see the fact that the feature designed by him, can still be commonly found on fishing reels.
