My family loves to spend time outdoors— and who can blame us with the beautiful weather we have here in Florida!? Many of our favorite activities involve being on or near the water, with fishing near the top of the list.
My husband is actually the one who got my daughter and I into fishing. Growing up, he spent many summers in Alaska catching red snapper with his grandpa. Now, he enjoys sharing those memories, and passion for the rod and reel with us.
Recently we had the opportunity to try out a new set of fishing equipment from Shakespeare and Stren.
Shakespeare Rods and Reels
Shakespeare has a long tradition of giving anglers the top notch equipment that they need to make the most of every fishing excursion. From rods to reels to their Catch More Fish Combos, Shakespeare has the equipment fishermen (and women!) need to make fishing even more enjoyable.
The Catch More Fish Combos
To make fishing fun and approachable for the entire family, Shakespeare has introduced a new line of Catch More Fish Combos featuring Shakespeare rods, reels, pre-spooled Stren fishing line, and a fishing kit. These kits are designed to make fishing as easy as possible for each and every member of the family.

Our Shakespeare & Stren Fishing Experience
We actually have a camping trip planned for later this month, and we're planning to bring our new fishing combo sets along, but first my husband thought it would be good to show us how they worked at a local pond.
It was awesome for each of us to have our own set of fishing equipment. In the past, my husband would share his rod with me, but now I have one of my own ... and it's PINK! My daughter is also head over heels for her kid-sized combo. Everything was very easy to use!
My husband took the time to show our daughter how to spool the bait, as well as share some safety tips. I think fishing is some of the best family bonding time that we could have...being outdoors together with a common goal. It puts a smile on my face seeing our family work together. I love that fishing requires no technology— just a little patience — and it's about as close to nature as you can get!
I know the memories we are making now will last a lifetime with our daughter. Hopefully she will carry-on the fishing tradition with her kids and grandkids, as my husband did, and will continue to do.
Spending quality time outdoors is personal investment in your children and family — creating memories and connecting with others is what life is all about!
There's a fantastic fishing checklist as well as outdoor tips on Shakespeare's website for a successful day on the water that we're going to utilize on our camping trip. I can't wait to see how many fish we're going to catch with our new Shakespeare rods and Stren line!
