Buoyancy 7'0" Ultra Light Casting Mod Fast

Already have an ultra light 7’ Suppressor; picked up this Buoyancy rod to complement the Suppressor. The fit and finish of the rod is great; it’s super lightweight and has a great moderate action. Took it out this past weekend paired with a Gekkabijin BFS and it performed like a dream. Didn’t throw anything lighter than 1/16oz, but the 1/16oz lures I threw went a country mile and hit every target I chose. Biggest fish I landed was a catfish that weighed a tad over 3.5lbs. Super fun fight and brought her in no problem. If you enjoy BFS you will love Old 18’s ultralight casting gear. Very happy with this rod and proud to support Old 18! 👍🏼

UPDATE: 2/13/26 - Fished with the set-up above again today and hooked into a 16lb catfish. Buoyancy Ultralight never missed a beat. Rod was doubled over the entire 30-minute fight. Super impressed with how lightweight and strong these Old 18 Buoyancy rods are. If you are on the fence, pull the trigger on one of these rods. Can’t beat their performance + the sale price is a great deal. No regrets. Tight lines!

The most sensitive and lightest rod I've yet to use. I caught my biggest fish on rod and reel on this rod a 36" flathead catfish. I can't recommend these rods enough.

Best of the best my fifth rod from this company

It's a beautiful rod that feels solid and fit for it's purpose in the hand. The craftmanship is very evident. I like everything about the grips, the texturing on the rod blank, the beautiful blue guide wraps and the gold trim. I like that the guides are a little bigger than some of the smaller micro guides I have on other rods. I have not had a chance to fish with it yet in January, but I added a reel and line and gave the line some pull. I was pleasantly suprised that there was minimal twist in the rod tip when I gave the line a good pull, simulating a fish on. This is much better than other light BFS rods I have that twist like crazy near the tip when you pull on them. Looking forward to throwing small jerkbaits for bass.

The Buoyancy line of rods is the lightest most sensitive rods I've ever felt. The 7 ft ultra light is not only light, but extremely powerful. I landed my biggest fish yet a 36" flat head. The most fun I've had yet. I've since purchased 4 more, and look forward to picking up some more.
