Shakespeare 5101 8' Classic VHF Antenna

Original product works great

Very good antenna have almost a year great signal

I broke mine so had to replace it. Works great and was able to contact the dams to lock through.

Packaging is too filmsy for an antenna that is to fragile. The antenna is 8 ft long and fiberglass. The packaging is rolled cardboard so when your favorite carrier put some boxes on top your precious antenna it will broke. Word of advice: drive to your local shop and buy your antenna. You can read others comments and see that a lot of them arrives broke. Then you'll have to drive to return it.

Great product. Install was easy and plenty of cable.

As described.

This antenna is great, I have a 25 watt marine base radio, it was getting out max about 10 to 12 miles and being picked up by a 5 wat handheld...no open water either. I will buy nothing but Shakespeare antennas, simply the best. Took a while to get it but well worth the wait after installation.

This antenna is junk. Made with a thin plastic tube. Put it on new last fall 2024. Shrink covered the boat as I have over the years my original fiber glass Shakespeare lasted 38 years without a problem. Stay away from this it is not flexible.
