Trivia: Shakespeare beat Fenwick to market with the first graphite flyrods. Both firms claimed the tradename "Graflite", but Shakespeare got there first. Fenwick changed their product name to HMG. It just goes to show that being first doesn't always get the gold.

Shakespear might not have even made their own. Don't know for sure on the glass rods. But many (if not all) Shakespeare bamboo rods were made by others.
