Great rod

Very good rod could not ask for more

Kinetic - 7'0" Ultra Light Casting Mod-Fast
JETTYWOLF in Jacksonville (the hood) (Jacksonville, US)
What I've Always Looked For

7' ultra light, casting, minimalist quality, rod for 'VERY' light tackle Redfish & Trout fishing. Add a super small, light weight, low-pro baitcaster and ya have the Ultimate Light Tackle combo. Since purchasing two, I'm not using any others. Reminds me of some rods I had years ago, that I fished ultra-light till the reel seats fell off. Those Bass BFS guys think they invented UL. Sorry fella's ''No you didn't''

Buoyancy 6'6" Medium Casting Fast
Kenny (Southampton, US)
Overall I’m very satisfied

So far I’m really enjoying my new Buoyancy rod. There 2 things I’d like to mention that I’ve noticed. First is there is a small excess epoxy drip on the finger grip right where my index finger rests. It doesn’t bother me when I hold the rod but, it’s there. The other thing is in all of the photos I’ve seen the entire rod had a sealed/shiny finish. My rod came matte or without a shiny finish. Again, I don’t mind the matte look and I’m sure it’s for weight savings however, that is not how the rod appears in any photos I’ve seen when purchasing the rod. It makes me think that my rod wasn’t finished but I’m almost positive that isn’t the case and perhaps it was just a design change from the online photos.

Knighthawk- 7'0" Medium Heavy Spinning Fast
Luis Velazquez (Houston, US)
First Old 18 Rod

Im not really brand loyal to fishing rods as much ae i am for reels. But these rods are the first ones in a while to make me want all old 18 rods. This knighthawk rod feels twice as expensive and super sensitive and still light weight. Love it
