Excellent rod. A little thick at the handle. Very sensitivr!
The only rod I love more than this one is my Buoyancy,but the kinetic hands down has been the hi gf est performing rod at a sub $100 price point. I have a medium light and I’ve snagged my PB and the the only time I caught two at once in a donkey in it. I never hit the ponds without it.
I received the Kinetic heavy as a generous replacement by Old 18 because of my Ambush heavy broke during a hook set. I used it this weekend fishing Perky lake in Texas throwing a Texas rig with 1/2 ounce tungsten in 8’-24’ foot of water, fishing the edge of hydrilla grass. The rod was superb and never missed a hook set. The sensitivity when the bass would hit my lure was easy to identify. The backbone of this rod and the way it performed in this condition was remarkable for the price of this rod. I’m an avid weekend tournament fisherman and being retired military and law enforcement officer I can’t normally afford higher priced rods. Im sold on Old 18 rods and will let everyone know of the high quality of this rod and the excellent customer service I received..
Thank you Old 18
Sincerely,

It’s an amazing rod. Strong backbone and good enough to cast some heavy lures. Would truly recommend this rod.
Looks and feels like a well made and responsive rod. If you would mail me a couple old 18 stickers I would put on my boat. Lindsay Larson 3921 Coyote Trl Kingsland TX. 78639
