I own a number of rods from different manufacturers. The Old 18 is at the top of the list for weight, sensitivity, and strength. I’m thinking of buying another one just like this one.
Grabbed the 6'6" ML. Caught a couple small reds this weekend held up great. A decent fish would be a blast with this rod!
Amazing rod!! Super glad I made the purchase!
This is number 15 of my Old 18 Rod collection and will be paired with a Bates Hundo LTS 100 size casting reel for BFS efforts. My collection contains both casting and spinning including the Buoyancy, Suppressor and Kinetic series used in both fresh and saltwater with premium reels by Bates, Diawa and Shimano perfectly matched and paired with each rod. As a veteran myself, I support veterans and especially veteran owned small businesses. All of the Old 18 rods are beautifully built and fish as they are described.
