Overview
A Shakespeare spinning reel, model ATS15LCX, size 15, weighing about 0.42 kilograms with a black finish and a multi-disc drag system. Built as a general purpose spinning reel for freshwater casting.
The multi-disc drag system is the one named feature Shakespeare calls out on this reel, which typically means more than a single drag washer for smoother, more consistent pressure as line pays out under a running fish. Size 15 places it toward the smaller end of common spinning reel sizing, generally paired with lighter line and smaller rods. No seller description or owner reviews are attached to confirm gear ratio or bearing count.
- Size 15 spinning reel
- Multi-disc drag system
- Black finish
- About 0.42 kg reel weight
Who it's for
Fits anglers looking for a light to medium spinning reel for general freshwater casting, particularly where smooth drag matters for fighting fish on lighter line. Not aimed at anglers needing a heavy duty reel for big game or saltwater use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Multi-disc drag smooths pressure under a running fish
- Size 15 suits light to medium tackle
- Reasonable weight for extended casting sessions
- Gear ratio and bearing count not listed
- No reviews confirm long-term durability
- Not built for saltwater or heavy species
Performance notes
A multi-disc drag stacks more than one friction disc to spread out braking force, which generally produces smoother, less jerky drag pressure than a single-washer setup, especially useful when a fish makes a sudden run on light line. Size 15 and a weight of about 0.42 kg point to a reel meant for all-day handling rather than heavy tackle.
