The Traverse Series Swimbait Rod is the perfect rod for dragging giants. Traverse Rods are works of art from Master Builder Jake Brewer that give you the confidence that every hook set will drag in the giants! The Traverse sports a premium Northfork carbon, American-made blank, 316 black stainless guides, ALPS reel seats, and the tacky grip of the unique, one-piece carbon fiber handle. Combined, they let you either finesse when necessary or dig deep when have to. Show 'em your serious and make 'em drool over the tactical color scheme with pops of red.

Feels light in the hand, very strong backbone, can launch a swim bait into space if needed without breaking a sweat.
Was having a hard time finding a rod that fit my needs. And old 18 had exactly what I needed. Excellent rod and quality!
Amazing rod will be buying more! Only issue I had was by the time it arrived at my house the eyes were bent, once they were fixed I tested out the rod and fell in love with how light and sensitive it was.
This rod handles the 6th Sense Draw very well. I expect it will also be good for the Alabama rig as well. Also, I believe it will be great for big swimbaits such as the Megabass Magdraft. I haven't caught any fish in it yet, but I'm sure it'll handle fish fabulously as do All of my other Old18 rods.
Love it, caught 2 large sheepshead yesterday. No Problem!!
Like the rod but I ordered the wrong one I supposed to order the medium heavy
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!!
