AS-73MHC-F
Ascent is the resurrection of the classic Hollow Point series...with an exciting twist. It's made here in the USA. Utilizing its' predecessor's wildly popular blank, Ascent is a robust beast with American craftsmanship and unmatched sensitivity. A reliable blank made of 30+24 Ton graphite with cross-section carbon and 316 Stainless Marine Grade guides, means that this rod is ready for whatever you throw at it. With a nod of honor to our original color schemes, the Ascent is an eye-catching gray and copper theme that will highlight any arsenal.

Such a great all around rod. Quality can't be beat especially for the price.
Absolutely love both of my rods that I purchased. All I will be buying from now on. My father is on the boat crew and Old 18 rods make up his entire arsenal. Great rods, great company, and very good customer service.
Great rod with Shimano FX under popping cork.
Very sensitive to the bite, and powerful enough to pull in 45lb+ Big Bull Reds!
Surprisingly light but also surprisingly strong! Love both my Old18 rods.
This is my second Ascent spinning rod. I mainly use it while wade fishing. It’s been a game changer for me in getting fish into the net. Great backbone and sensitive tip to feel the slightest nibbles.
This ultra light BSF rod is my second one, I’m anxious to try them both out and test the differences. They feel the same as they should, both are light, fast and are 2-8#. These rods will cast 1.5 g’s very close to the same distance but I did however put my best BFS reel on my “Old 18”.
I’ll do a more in-depth review with the boat back in the water.
BTW “Old 18” has a great customer service, we had a shipping problem, and it was resolved as quick as possible. The fit and finish rivals the best so I purchased another rod from “Old 18”.
