The Buoyancy Micro Lure Series Rods were developed for anglers who love to throw the lightest of lures and bait. Built in the USA by Master Builder Jake Brewer and anchored on a premium modulus carbon blank. This combination gives maximum strength and feather weight. Buoyancy rods are works of art that can relay the lightest hits and yet fight the biggest fish. Only using the best components, it has titanium guides with the hardest zirconian inserts, Fuji SK2 reel seats, and a unique carbon fiber split grip that will give an incredible feel without slip. The Buoyancy's style is in a class of its own. Inspired by our wildly popular SEAL Legacy rod, the Buoyancy is wrapped in Blue & Gold with anodized gold accents. Insanely light and designed for all-day sight and precision strike casting, Buoyancy is a serious weapon for the fight.

I gotta say, the customer service is astonishing great. And old 18 rods are one of a kind bfs rod, Right here in Texas. If anyone were to recommend a bfs rod, this is the one right here.
I purchased two 7’ Buoyancy Ultra Light Casting rods and one Buoyancy 7’ Light. I love the action and workmanship on these rods. Thanks Old 18.
Had a chance to fish this rod last weekend and will definitely be ordering another one soon. Excellent quality rod!
Very nice rod
Definitely a great shirt to wear while fishing in the heat.
For what I used these rods (inshore/marsh NE Fl), they’re hard to beat! I have 2 with an Aldebaron and a Calcutta Conquest mounted (both BFS). I’ve caught trout up to 28”, reds to 31”, and snook to 35”. It handles them all. You will need to wear the larger fish out, but that’s fishing right. All catch and release. I especially appreciate the slightly larger tip guide than you find on other rods. Some competitors come with tips so small that unless you’re using sub-6# line and leader, it’s difficult for even an fg knot to pass (when you want a longer leader for retying). Well done gents!!!

It was fun to get out early this morning and try out my two new investments. These were purchased for my obsession for chasing the “Rowdy Reds” and Maryland’s “Rockfish” (Striped Bass) on the shallow saltwater flats of the Maryland and Virginia Chesapeake Bay with the finesse of light tackle and tiny offerings, an obsession developed growing up along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast.
I took them out for a spin on Lake Marburg, Codorus State Park close to my home and along the Mason Dixon Line of Maryland and Pennsylvania. I did manage to catch a couple of the stocked, pure strain, striped bass just at sunrise at the point near the marina, although both were small, perhaps 16 to 18 inches, but a lot of fun on my new toys of the trade, and of course from my Old Town Autopilot 120 Kayak. Otherwise, it was a typical Lake Marburg day, “for me lately” with not much to brag about…. But then I am a saltwater aficionado, and not much of freshwater angler….. “yet,” although I am learning, especially since a favorite little lake is only 5 minutes away from my driveway….
I am no stranger to Old 18 thanks to the YouTuber Mark from MDLR Fishing in Texas. He brings back fond memories of my old stomping grounds and I have pretty much fished every location he films. I just wish Old 18 was around back during those years. And the Hundo 100, Wow!!! It casts like a dream and only weighs five ounces, add that to an exceptionally light rod and you can forget about any fatigue from a full day of casting.
Best fishing rod I ever bought , the management was very respectful and polite to me , even though I wasn’t to them . I do a lot of fishing and I strongly recommend there products . I put old 18 decal on my back window of my RV . USA.
