The Traverse Series Swimbait Rod is the perfect rod for dragging giants. Traverse Rods are works of art from Master Builder Jake Brewer that give you the confidence that every hook set will drag in the giants! The Traverse sports a premium Northfork carbon, American-made blank, 316 black stainless guides, ALPS reel seats, and the tacky grip of the unique, one-piece carbon fiber handle. Combined, they let you either finesse when necessary or dig deep when have to. Show 'em your serious and make 'em drool over the tactical color scheme with pops of red.

Feels light in the hand, very strong backbone, can launch a swim bait into space if needed without breaking a sweat.
Was having a hard time finding a rod that fit my needs. And old 18 had exactly what I needed. Excellent rod and quality!
Amazing rod will be buying more! Only issue I had was by the time it arrived at my house the eyes were bent, once they were fixed I tested out the rod and fell in love with how light and sensitive it was.
This rod handles the 6th Sense Draw very well. I expect it will also be good for the Alabama rig as well. Also, I believe it will be great for big swimbaits such as the Megabass Magdraft. I haven't caught any fish in it yet, but I'm sure it'll handle fish fabulously as do All of my other Old18 rods.
The Kinetic - 7'0" Medium Spinning Mod-Fast is an outstanding rod. This is my go to rod when I get to a spot and want to cover a lot of water quickly. I rig it with a Vudu Shrimp under a Woodie Popping Cork and am able to cast all day. It's very balanced and durable, a must have for any saltwater angler.
I looked long and hard to find a 7’6” med Lt casting rod. Purchased this rod to throw small cranks and tubes for smallmouth bass here in Western PA rivers. Paired it with a Revo and 10# Pline Fluoroclear and the rod performs flawlessly. Thank you for a great product.
I was looking for my second bfs rod.
I kept coming back to Old 18.
Glad I pulled the trigger on it.
Got out on the water and started using it.
Caught a small LMB within a few minutes.
The rod performance was great as is the build quality.
I’m sold on the Old 18 Rod Company
Well balanced rod and very comfortable to use all day on a kayak! This is my second buoyancy and both are great rods.
