The Buoyancy Micro Lure Series Rods were developed for anglers who love to throw the lightest of lures and bait. 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 316 Alconite guides, 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.

Rod Great, communication not so much

I absolutely loved my first. I broke it (my fault) and got a second. I had some concerns about the second, and the company's communication was not good at all. You can see the difference in the photos. I asked several times about the discrepancy in the rods. In the second photo, you can see where the blank is exposed. I buy from small companies because I find they normally stand behind their work, but I communicated my concerns via email, phone, and warranty, and finally received one response that said it was normal and they would replace it if it started to unwrap (which it clearly has). I asked follow-up questions and received no response. I don't think I will buy another, not because of quality, but because of the service. If I support small companies, which I try to do, I expect some issues, but solid communication is a must. One email response to several questions about a $250 rod isn't acceptable, if you ask me.

As Expected

This is my 4th Old 18 rod and this may be my favorite one yet. Fit and finish are great, the rod is light in the hand, and the sensitivity is unreal. I will continue to recommend and purchase Old 18 rods.
