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.
- 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.
Pros and cons
- 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
- 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.
