Make the leap to baitcast easy with Shakespeare®'s E-Z Cast® Low Profile Baitcast Reel featuring Anti-Backlash System™ technology.

The revolutionary Anti-Backlash System automatically controls the spool and allows for tangle-free casting. Once proficient at casting, anglers can turn the Anti-Backlash System off, transforming the E-Z Cast into a standard low profile baitcast reel. The E-Z Cast Low-Profile Baitcast Reels come spooled with 10 lb. line and feature a machined aluminum handle and two ball bearings plus a one-way instant anti-reverse bearing.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by Wallly Not as expected
I purchased two E Z Shakespeare reels for grandkids and find they are easy to use but, the drag on the line does not allow an easy free flow of the line - thus requiring heavier, larger lures and weights. Heavy lures are not usually your choice for this size reel!

Rated 1 out of 5Â by bigheadfisherman Ok for practice, NOT for fishing
Bought this for the wife, to try and get her to use something besides spincast reels. Works good for practice, but set the hook in 1 decent size bass, and something inside this thing broke. Now the spool goes backward, as fast as forward. Will be returning this week.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by stormin3688 Okay Purchase
I just bought this from Bass Pro Shops. I did my research and read the reviews on this reel. I practiced a little in the backyard and for the most it did what it said it was going to do. I had a little backlash. I took the reel out fishing from the bank of the Delaware River. It cast nice and it did slow the line down fast so it would not totally backlash but I had some that was easy to fix. It felt smooth reeling and casting. The problem I had was the On/Off latch on the top would turn Off the Backlash Preventer and wouldn't you know? I got a super birds nest I had to completely cut out. Not happy about having to find new fishing line. The other thing was no where to thread new line through to start a knot. Make sure the On switch stays On. Otherwise just buy a Baitcaster and practice with it.

i heard it works well for new users but i would like to know if it works every timeAnswers
A:Â
Yes and No it does not work everytime. I had some small backlashes but easy enough to spool out and fix. But the On /Off switch needs to be on and make sure you check it before you cast. If you don't you will have the mother of all birdsnest in the reel.

I believe it works every time, but if there was a malfunction or a part was missing then the ant-backlash might not work then. And if you switch the anti-backlash off then yes it will create a bird's nestAnswers
A:Â
The manufacturer makes this reel in only right hand.

what lure weights does it work successfully with ?Answers
A:Â
I've been using 3/8 oz weight and it casts approx 50-60 with ease. I'm using an 8.5' pole.A:Â
We used up to 1/2oz crank bait with no problem. this reel works very well you just need practice casting and adjust the mechanical brake for lure weight.A:Â
It works by slideing a little bar that is on top the reel to the on or off position. Distance depends on how heavy your weight is. 10'- 35'+1 of 1
