Just what I needed, awesome flex with a great backbone and balance!

I fell in love with Old 18 rod’s when I first purchased a knight hawk off Amazon. I now own 3 Knight hawks and 2 kinetic rods. They’re the strongest, most sensitive rods I’ve found around the price range so far. Kinect rods are sensitive enough to feel pinfish pecking on your swim bait and the backbone to pull up 38 inch reds. They will not fail you.

Love the rod, feels great in my hand, looks good. I paired it with a kastking speed demon elite deadbolt. Using it for punching mats and frogging. Im used to frogging on a medium-heavy fast rod, so its a little different and took some getting used to but I really like the rod. I also got the medium-light version, and really like that rod as well.

Want a great rod worth the money invest in old 18 rod. Great action, durable. My first rod rod lasted 10 years and still in use

Put our new Kinetics to the test last weekend in the Lowcountry tidal marshes of SC. Both the casting and spinning models (6’10”/ med-light) handled multiple 20”-25” Reds with no issues. Sensitivity was great working 3” paddle tails across oyster beds & grass lines. Beats anything you’ll find at BassPro in the same price range. Ready to try a Suppressor next!!!!

I needed an utlralight rod for BFS so I picked up a couple of Kenetics to try. I was exceptionally impressed by the balance, sensitivity, strength, and durability of these rods. Even though it's an ultralight rod, it has no problem hauling in (multiple) largemouth in the 4+ lb. range. Fast forward to today and four of my six "deck" rods are Kinetics (of various power & strength ratings).

I bought the 7'6" medium light for jigging trout, and the Kinetic is an awesome rod, very sensitive and perfect action. My new favorite for sure 😊

I love my other Old 18 rods and have no doubt this will continue to deliver.

I bought three of the Kinetic series rods; all are 6'-6". I bought a ultra light spinning and a light spinning. I also bought a light casting rod for a BFS casting set up. I'm really liking these rods for my panfish / blue gill fishing. I love catching blue gill on light tackle. I also enjoy catching bass on the BFS rod as well. These rods are proving to be a great value and great quality and so far have handled everything I've caught with them.

I wanna start my review by saying I have broken on of these before but it was completely my fault. Other than that it handles anything I throw at it. For an ultralight its gotta have one of the most robust back bones on the market. Ultra sensitive and responsive tip so you feel bites and can work your smallest lures no problem. Wouldn't be surprised if you could throw a fly on these things. Biggest fish on the ultralight was a 20-25lb koi caught and released i just under 20 minutes. Please only buy from these guys right here. Support local and veteran owned business. They deserve every bit of! And dont even get me started on their customer service!! Broke your rod? Email this amazing company and they will do everything they can to help you have a better day.

I looked long and hard to find a 7’6” med Lt casting rod. Purchased this rod to throw small cranks and tubes for smallmouth bass here in Western PA rivers. Paired it with a Revo and 10# Pline Fluoroclear and the rod performs flawlessly. Thank you for a great product.

Old 18 rod #6! I was looking for another rod to use in the river to throw lighter moving baits via my kayak. This rod did not disappoint. Light weight, loads easily with plenty of backbone.
M
This rod is great for many moving baits. Bladed jigs, spinner baits & even shallow to mid depth crank baits! The finish is excellent! The parabolic action on this rod is exceptional!
E
They are great

Love it Use it mostly for a chatter bait rod but it works for anything. Already caught a 8.56 and 11.20 with it.
