Shakespeare Antique Lure Ad 1906

To Anglers in every part of the United States and Canada, I offer Free a beautiful $10 outfit of Famous Shakespeare Rods, Reels and Baits that Catch Fish.

I was every Angler to know of the exquisitely fine qualities of the Shakespeare Hand made Rod and Reels and the wonderfully successful Baits that Catch Fish. Without question the three most successful baits in the World today are the Shakespeare Revolution Bait, the Shakespeare Wooden Minnow and the New Rhodes Mechanical Swimming Frog. Game fish strike these baits savagely when the live bait utterly fail to tempt them.

Bass have been seen to rush a distance of more then 50 feet to attack these baits and many cases are reported of two large fish being landed at a single cast. In deep or shallow water, whether trolling or casting, fish actually take these baits more readily than live bait. They have repeatedly taken better and larger strings of fish than live frogs or minnows when used at the same time and place.

Two anglers with the New Rhodes Mechanical Swimming Frog in 4 hours took 51 Bass and 5 Pickerel. One Boy with a ball of common stout twine trolling with a Shakespeare Revolution Bait in 3 hours caught 19 Bass weighing 45 pounds. The Shakespeare Wooden Minnow has repeatedly taken more than 100 Bass and Pickerel in a single day. In many inland streams and lakes of the United States and Canada these Baits have actually displaced every other kind of bait, and wherever introduced have practically revolutionized previous methods of fishing.

The booklets “The Art of Baits Casting” and “How to Catch Bass” tell how to use these baits. I send these booklets absolutely free of charge together with my large catalog of Fine Fishing Tackle and offer to one angler in every town and county in the United States and Canada free and handsome $10.00 outfit of the Famous Shakespeare Rods, Reels and Baits that Catch Fish. Simply send me your name and the names and addresses of the fishing tackle dealers in your vicinity, and I will send you the booklets and the catalog, and tell you how to get the catalog and tell you how to get the beautiful $10.00 outfit absolutely free.
