I picked up this Medium Light Fast action rod at the Houston Fishing Show after talking with Mark from MDLR Fishing. They did have a discount for buying at the show, but found the same discount online while the show was going on. I was able to take the rod out for a “test drive” the next day after getting a reel on it. I was truly amazed at the first cast! The Suppressor launched my little Buggs 1/4 ounce Flats Bug further than I have ever been able to cast! The feeling was crazy! I felt like I could almost count the individual oysters in the oyster bar. The connection that the Suppressor gives you to the lure and the water was unsurpassed! I felt like I jumped from a weekend warrior to being on the leader board of a pro tournament in the blink of an eye! This rod has changed my fishing game dramatically! This rod is what fishing is supposed to be! I am extremely excited and honored to now be a member of the Old 18 family! Now just waiting on my tax return to increase my arsenal with or without a sale price! More than worth every hard earned penny, oops, I guess we cant’t say that anymore. More than worth every hard earned nickel!!
