Shakespeare? GTFO.

Didn't Shakespeare announce they were no longer going to sell blanks last summer/fall?

Guy at a local shop told me that Shakespeare make a gazillion fiberglass attenae for boating applications. That is where their bread & butter was. Making fishing rods was a minor thing for them.

Van Staal was in trouble and was purchased by Zebco. Now the Quantum Cabo PT line is pretty nice. May be the price of the VS reels will be lower?

I don't get it. May be its just too hard for the smaller companies to survive now a days.

The automotive company I work for closed down plants in US then moved to Mexico and now we are told they are moving production lines to China now.
