This is my third rod from Old 18. My first was the Ascent 7’3”MH and I was really impressed so I ended up getting the Medium and a Kinetic Ultralight casting rod as well. These are my go to now. Thinking of getting a suppressor next.
Very responsive, sensitive and super light… I do a lot of wade and kayak fishing and adding this to my arsenal was a good decision. Will be purchasing another in the future, highly recommend this company….
I’m a size “shmedium” so went with M. After washing it did shrink a bit but it fits great. Inside liner is a little bit warmer and soft which is plus. The sticking and silk screening is of good quality and still holding up. Highly recommend.
Bad service never got my rod
What I think about this rod Very handsome rod. Very light. Very responsive. Very sensitive. I have catch all type of fish. Channel catfish, blue catfish, bluegills, Crappie, alligator gar and Carp All in lake Conroe I did not catch largemouth bass at all. I will eventually. I love this rod. I'm definitely going to get the medium heavy.
I bought this rod for BFS bass fishing and could not be happier !!! I got the Suppressor 7ft light fast action.
Truly a versatile rod. Sensitivity is great for bottom contact, and just the right amount of flex for reaction baits. My whole experience with Old 18 was top notch. I would recommend the rods and company to anyone.
I am loving my new Old 18 Buoyancy Ultra Light Spinning rod. Only used once so far but it caught all the fish and can’t wait to get back out again. I can see more Buoyancy rods in my future for sure.
