How to Put Together a Shakespeare Fishing Pole
- 1). Remove the Shakespeare rod sections from the case or protective bag and arrange each piece from the largest (the handle assembly) to the smallest (the section with the round rod tip on the end).
- 2). Insert the ferrule on the middle rod section midway into the hole at the end of the handle assembly, then rotate the two sections so the metal rod guides on each section line up for the fishing line to go through.
- 3). Push the two sections together firmly, but don't force them together so tightly that it will be difficult to disassemble the rod.
- 4). Place the ferrule on the opposite end of the rod tip section into the hole on the middle section and align the rod guides along the tip section with the rod guides on the first two sections. Push the pieces together so each section cannot rotate independently of other sections.
