The Buoyancy Micro Lure Series Rods were developed for anglers who love to throw the lightest of lures and bait. Built in the USA by Master Builder Jake Brewer and anchored on a premium modulus carbon blank. This combination gives maximum strength and feather weight. Buoyancy rods are works of art that can relay the lightest hits and yet fight the biggest fish. Only using the best components, it has titanium guides with the hardest zirconian inserts, Fuji SK2 reel seats, and a unique carbon fiber split grip that will give an incredible feel without slip. The Buoyancy's style is in a class of its own. Inspired by our wildly popular SEAL Legacy rod, the Buoyancy is wrapped in Blue & Gold with anodized gold accents. Insanely light and designed for all-day sight and precision strike casting, Buoyancy is a serious weapon for the fight.

What an awesome rod. It is so light!
I ordered on Black Friday. What a deal !!! It came with a rod sleeve and as a bonus was sent a goodie box with all kinds of extras hat, buff and lure. Great rod! Awesome deal!
Bought 2Suppressor’s a year ago for reds and been eyeballing this Buoyancy as my dedicated spec rod. Have been more than pleased with everything Old18 has put out. Wife likes them too…after yelling at me about the price lol. Long story short “If your wife is mad at you, buy a fishing pole” And imma choose Old18 every time! 💯
All I can say is WOW. This rod is something special. Didnt have an issue with hybrids, white bass and even crappie. Its a ML rod but it feels more like a medium instead. This is a beast in its nature. Paired it with a Twin Power FD 3000 and man im so glad I bought this rod and will continuing buying from this brand for sure!!!
Have not fished with it yet, but the rod could use some quality control. Upon receiving it and inspecting the rod, I have noticed the blank has an imperfections that was sealed and the metal ring at the butt was not evenly placed on the bottom handle for a smooth uniform feel. The carbon material used to wrap the handle did not have enough glue and you can feel the material has some play where it was folded at the end of the handle to the split handle. Other than this, it was well packaged and fast shipping. This is my first rod from Old 18 and I expect a higher level of details to attention for something of this price point on rods. I find this level of detail is comparable to what you would find at Wal-Mart. It was rather disappointing and will consider looking else were if I ever decided to spend my money.
I just picked up two of these rods a couple of weeks ago. Out of the box they looked great and felt great in the hand, still do. However, the first day out on the water I was very disappointed with the lack of sensitivity. I have a Hallow Point and a Ballistic rod from Old18 and love them a lot and expected the same great product. Unfortunately, out of all of my other similarly priced rods from several different brands, these two Ascent rods are the least sensitive rods on my boat and I’m not quite sure what to think about that, as I had really high expectations of them. You live, you learn I guess.
Excellent rod for almost any bass fishing application. Very sensitive tip with plenty of backbone. Well done.
I finally had a chance to use this rod today. After dragging lures through some weeds, it is easy to tell the difference between a light bite VS snagging up on some weeds. I hate setting the hook on salad. Love the rod. It brought in seven decent northern pike today.
