My favorite BFS rod. If I could redo all my rods to old 18 I’d do it

Great bend .Great feeling . Guides not the best . Great value rod for beginners. Does the job for it's purpose.

I received the Kinetic heavy as a generous replacement by Old 18 because of my Ambush heavy broke during a hook set. I used it this weekend fishing Perky lake in Texas throwing a Texas rig with 1/2 ounce tungsten in 8’-24’ foot of water, fishing the edge of hydrilla grass. The rod was superb and never missed a hook set. The sensitivity when the bass would hit my lure was easy to identify. The backbone of this rod and the way it performed in this condition was remarkable for the price of this rod. I’m an avid weekend tournament fisherman and being retired military and law enforcement officer I can’t normally afford higher priced rods. Im sold on Old 18 rods and will let everyone know of the high quality of this rod and the excellent customer service I received..

Thank you Old 18

Sincerely,

Great service and item worth every penny

Amazing rod, first trip I fished for 4 hours and caught many specs. Extremely light weight and plenty of backbone.

This rod is among the best bait finesse casting rods on the market. Good, deep rod bend, even with small fish. The shorter 6 1/2 ft length balances out with the lighter casting reels very well. It took a while for the ultra light models to be back in stock, but the wait was worth it. Rod has quality components too.

This is the ultimate jerkbait/top water rod! Really light and sensitive ,6’8” length , short handle, and the perfect power blank to twitch baits with out having to jerk hard to get the bait to react! Once you hook into a fish that strong blank has a parabolic bend that keeps them locked on treble hooked baits!

Best frog and jig rod period ! Great taper on the blank from tip to backbone. light and shorter so it easy to skip and flip but, strong to get fish out of cover and flip them in the boat!

This is the do it all rod! From weightless baits,flipping,swim jig, buzzbaits to ripping chatterbaits and traps out of grass. Multiple of these rods are always on my deck!

This rod is very sensitive and strong! It is light for a heavy action rod! Great for dragging and feeling or dragging fish out of thick cover!

Love this rod

It’s one of the best rods I own. As sensitive as an nrx. Customer service is top
Notch. Had a warranty fulfilled and a rod back in my hands in 5 days!! That’s unheard of. Amazing job by old 18!

One of the best rods I've ever used and best warranty in the business. I had one break and less than a week later had a replacement at zero cost to me . I will purchase more in the future.

Already have a kinetic ultralight for a spinning reel and wanted to give it a try for BFS. This thing is awesome!!!

An American made bfs rod for a little over a 100 dollars that delivers on quality. It would be hard to beat this rod at the price point.
