I think this one is number 20 of My old 18 rod collection with 21 and 22 still on the way with another Buoyancy Light Spinning and Midnight Ultralight casting. The Midnights are paired with Bates Hundo LTS reels and this Buoyancy and the one coming are paired with ne Shimano 2025 Sustain FK reels. I use all of my Old 18 collection in both fresh and salt, for bass on my local lakes and especially the "smallies" on the Susquehanna River here in PA As well as on the shallow flats of the Chesapeake Bay in MD and VA for chasing Reds and Specs as well as our infamous Rockfish (Stripers). But fret not, I am a native Texan who grew up on the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast fishing the same waters of those two psychos, MDLR and RX Angler, Most importantly, I am a veteran and fully support Veteran run buisnesses.
I absolutely love this rod, it is very light and sensitive but still strong enough to bring in big fish, it is my 3rd Old18 rod and this is my go to the most, light for casting all day with no problems, I love that Old18 is Veteran owned and made in Texas.
I paired this awesome rod with a Lews Speed Spool RX for inshore fishing for Specs, Reds and Flounder. I love the look and craftsmanship. It has great feel and sensitivity. Its light enought for all day fishing and handles everything I catch. Including the 30" red I caught recently. I use alot of light lures, 1/16 & 1/8oz, and this rod casts them with ease.
An awesome rods at a great price!
Beautiful feel. Love the rod for BFS and smallies.
This is hands down the lightest and most sensitive rod I’ve ever owned. I am typically throwing 1/32oz or 1/24oz and have zero issues with accuracy or distance. It’s amazing being able to feel the blade pulsing from reeling in a tiny 1/32oz beetlespin. I will be buying the matching casting model shortly. Great job, Old18.
