I'm very impressed with the quality of the Suppressor rod. Very solid and performed well on my first outing. Sensitivity is very good!
By far the best jerk bait/crank bait rod I have ever used. Tough enough to throw them 10-12 foot divers with enough back bone to get them down deep and get a good hookset but also light enough to throw the small ones as far as you want. Best all around rod for jerk baits and shallow to medium cranks it'll be on my deck this whole season.
If you want an all-around medium casting rod, this is it. It's light, durable, and versatile. An awesome rod for co-anglers fishing Toyota or BASS open trails because you can do a lot with this one rod.
Suppressor - 7'3" Medium Casting Fast
This is my 3rd Old18 rod and my first Kinetic. It feels like it's a bit faster and has more backbone than my Ascent 7’ UL. Got it paired with a Curado BFS-XG with PE 0.6Goh and 4# leader. This rod can flick sub 2g up to 5g lures (total weight) without a problem. This is now my go to UL BFS combo!
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.
