I haven't used it yet. I'm waiting for my reel to get repaired. The rod is light and I really like the feel of the rod.

Fishing ultralight in salt and fresh for as long as I remember. The old 18 suppressor is my go to for virtually all inshore and freshwater fishing. It can make a crappie fun and can horse in a trophy flounder. Truly a jack of all trades and for my kind of fishing a match made in heaven. If you are on the fence on getting one, get two.

Great rod. Very sensitive but strong. The responsiveness when setting the hook is top notch. I’m looking to buy another one asap.

Looks great still in pending haven't had a chance to try it out but im more than sure it will perform great I've seen mark use these over and over aging so I trust in what says and once a aging thank you especially randy for taking care of the little problem I had with rod. Thank you!! Definitely be posting pics I'll make sure to tag u guys

Beautiful and well built rod! Second to none! Well balanced with my Curado 150 MGL HG, and light. I plan to use it next week and I'm expecting low hand and wrist fatigue after a day of fishing. I've owned other 7'-6" rods and they were all heavy and not this well balanced. I currently own 4 great Kinetic and now 2 Buoyancy rods. In the future, I hope to acquire more in your other models. Old 18 was made aware to me by RX Angler & MDLR Fishing. They weren't wrong, you guys build incredible rods! Thank you for your Service, and providing us with beautiful American made fishing rods! Best wishes and keep up the good work.

Super casting of light lures with enough backbone for reds, trout, and flounder.

Great, quality rod. Super light and responsive. Will be buying another.

I use this great little rod for BFS in my kayak. It’s exactly what I thought it would be fits perfect in my hand, quick for “mod fast” and light. If you’re on the fence just buy it. The craftsmanship alone is worth it!

This is the best made rod I own. I will buy more.

I broke my rod by accident which was my favorite rod a fish catching machine it was dark just cam out of the river and had it stuck inside of my kayak needless to say a limb or something caught my pole and broke it in half and I was going to purchase another one got to looking at there warranty policy sent them a email and my story and just like that they are sending a replacement no other rod company would do that so hats off to the this great bunch of veterans they will definitely get all my business and more from my friends

I haven't been fishing for very long but I've tried many different manufactures. From ugly stick, shinano, daiwa, st croix and TFO. I decided to give the Old 18 Suppressor a shot. My most expensive rod as of now and I will definitely be ordering more from them. I feel every noble and it's pulled 3 lbs smallies to little pumpkin seeds. Great rod.

Awesome rod, incredibly light. Has some great action in the tip then past abt 20 inches it hits backbone and has a nice consistent bend. The rod feels like air in your hands and is so easy to twitch for any kind of smaller lures you need some more precise action on- also a great jerkbait rod.

100 percent love this rod

Lightweight and high quality rod. Feels great in your hand.

I got this hoodie to fish tournaments and it's the best one I have it keeps me warm when I need it to with the built-in face mask and in the sun it cools me down very fast and then keeps me cool. I also love the patterns they have.
