2007 IGFA Freshwater Rod Award

Shakespeare earned the first place IGFA world record achievement award in the freshwater rod category (International Game Fish Association.) In 2007, Shakespeare rods hauled in more freshwater world records than any other brand. Sure, we're proud of this award, but it's America's fishermen and women that deserve the credit. Many of them fish long and hard for their favorite species and we are thankful that they trust Shakespeare to get the job done. Thanks to you, Shakespeare is #1 again.
