I now have like 7-8 old 18 rods and they are my favorites from ultra light to extra heavy they totally rock
I will go with the suppressor next time. So far I got the hollow point and kineting.(waiting to have my dream one supressor)
Comparing this rod to the Old 18 UL Suppressor and Buoyancy, the fit and finish isn’t quite as fancy (foam grip, number of guides). But, make no mistake, this rod kicks butt. Pair it with a decent BFS reel and it flat out delivers. Mine started with an old Zephyr but recently upgraded to an SS Air BFS from Digitaka. Rod/reel combos slings 1/16 oz lures as far as you like and the sensitivity is solid. Great rod, you won’t be disappointed. 👍🏼
JUST RECIEVED MY 3rd & 4th OLD 18 (ultra light) RODS. WICKED FAST ORDER DELIVERY. IT'S AS IF "SOMEONE" ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT "CUSTOMER SERVICE" IS THESE DAYS. (sarcasm) OLD 18 IS MY FAVORITE ROD CO. IT WAS TIME TO REVAMP MY "PERSONAL TACKLE ARSENAL'', GOING FROM A HUGE 26 FOOT BOAT DESIGNED TO FISH OUR DEEP, ROUGH INLET. WHICH I SOLD. AND NOW I HAD A 2025 20' FLAT BOTTOM BUILT, FOR FISHING THE SHALLOW MARSHES. SO, I SAID GOODBYE TO HEAVY DUTY RODS. AND CAN NOW GO "ULTRA-LIGHT"!! THE PERFECT UL IN LENGTH AND ACTION, WITH A MINIMALIST STYLE ROD, THESE ARE WHAT I WAS ALWAYS LOOKING TO USE. - keep up the great work, Old 18!
It is a great rod just what i needed it for
