Comparing this rod to the Old 18 UL Suppressor and Buoyancy, the fit and finish isn’t quite as fancy (foam grip, number of guides). But, make no mistake, this rod kicks butt. Pair it with a decent BFS reel and it flat out delivers. Mine started with an old Zephyr but recently upgraded to an SS Air BFS from Digitaka. Rod/reel combos slings 1/16 oz lures as far as you like and the sensitivity is solid. Great rod, you won’t be disappointed. 👍🏼
