The catalog centers on capos for steel-string guitar, nylon-string (classical) guitar, banjo, and ukulele, alongside partial capos, steels and slides for lap and pedal steel players, and replacement parts. Model lines include the Standard Series (the C1 and its siblings), the Royale Series with polished stainless and brass finishes, the Anniversary Series, the Paua Pearl editions, and the Pathfinders line. In 2014 the company established Shubb International to handle global distribution and shifted the bulk of manufacturing overseas.

Shubb capos are a fixture on acoustic and electric stages across folk, bluegrass, country, and rock, and the brand is frequently cited alongside Kyser and G7th as one of the dominant names in the capo market.
