Vintage Fishing 10’ Shakespeare Omni-Match Rod & Daiwa 1600X Reel

Ey up piscators, this video includes a rod I’m pretty sure I had as a teenager. A 10’ Shakespeare Omni-Match float rod with a black foam handle and black whipping with a red line either side of the line guides, which I recognised amongst a job lot of several rods I saw for sale locally. I bought my original rod from Belper Fishing Tackle Shop for around £70, which was a lot of money for a teenager in the mid-1980s. I remember I bought a small Shakespeare Cosmos reel which was all I could afford after buying the rod. Unfortunately, the rod was stolen from my parent’s garage about 1989, although I had an enjoyable few seasons catching small roach, rudd and perch and learning the basics. Here I’ve matched the rod with a Daiwa 1600X reel which looks of the same era. Thanks for watching and feel free to like, subscribe and visit theretroangler.com
