This is my 3rd Old18 rod and my first Kinetic. It feels like it's a bit faster and has more backbone than my Ascent 7’ UL. Got it paired with a Curado BFS-XG with PE 0.6Goh and 4# leader. This rod can flick sub 2g up to 5g lures (total weight) without a problem. This is now my go to UL BFS combo!
I’m a size “shmedium” so went with M. After washing it did shrink a bit but it fits great. Inside liner is a little bit warmer and soft which is plus. The sticking and silk screening is of good quality and still holding up. Highly recommend.
Bad service never got my rod
What I think about this rod Very handsome rod. Very light. Very responsive. Very sensitive. I have catch all type of fish. Channel catfish, blue catfish, bluegills, Crappie, alligator gar and Carp All in lake Conroe I did not catch largemouth bass at all. I will eventually. I love this rod. I'm definitely going to get the medium heavy.
I bought this rod for BFS bass fishing and could not be happier !!! I got the Suppressor 7ft light fast action.
Truly a versatile rod. Sensitivity is great for bottom contact, and just the right amount of flex for reaction baits. My whole experience with Old 18 was top notch. I would recommend the rods and company to anyone.
