Can’t believe how light and powerful this rod is, quickly becoming one of my go to rods every time I go out.
M
Great action, light weight and hyper sensitive. 6’9” medium light extra fast is an excellent choice for trout and redfish!

I never thought to look at this rod for my bfs needs. The build quality is excellent. Rod weighs 3.1 ounces. I am sure it is a killer rod for inshore but it’s also a fresh water slayer. I have a Flight Feather Cormorant reel on it. Very happy with Rod. It is my ninth Old 18 rod. Thanks again Randy.

I’ve been eyeing old 18 rods for a while but never pulled the trigger. I’ve never been one to follow trends or hypes so I was very skeptical. When I saw the midnight edition rod it really caught my attention based on the type of fishing I like to do. I own a Waterloo and a green rod, and i wanted something comparable to them do based on the description it looked like something I could try. Upon receiving the rod i noticed 1: the shipping was very fast and the packaging was superb and it ensures that you will receive your rod in one piece and in perfect condition. 2: The craftsmanship , quality of the components and attention to detail are top notch. The rod feels extremely light yet not fragile. Feels amazing in your hands as if it was an extension of your arm. I paired it with a Shimano Chronarch and it looks as it was meant for that reel. In comparison with other rods on the same price range I don’t think you can get a better rod, and with the special i got it for it is honestly a steal. As if it wasn’t enough , they sent the rod with a really sweet sleeve, and also they sent me a box of Old 18 swagg with a buggs lure which is also one of my favorite lures. These guys go above and beyond on the customer service and the experience you get when purchasing from them. Support this local guys, and enjoy a great product, you will not be disappointed.

It’s one of the best rods I own. As sensitive as an nrx. Customer service is top
Notch. Had a warranty fulfilled and a rod back in my hands in 5 days!! That’s unheard of. Amazing job by old 18!

Wow, this rod is incredible. Two of my favorite companies in one, and perfect for the small swim baits I love to throw with enough backbone to consistently set the hook. I’d say get one, but I got the last one… hopefully they’ll make something like this again soon, but in the meantime, I’m also very happy with my suppressor.

Amazing quality rods, just a bit sad i didn’t receive a rod sock for the midnight

The action of the rod if beautiful and the blank itself is top notch but basically is all your paying for, oh and the recoil guides wich I don't understand the hype on them they look and act like any other guides I've had on a nice rod. Whoever put the rod together left it looking more like a 100 rod than a 300. There is glue coming out the seems where the cork meets the reel handle. Below that there is another piece that you can see is not even and looks bad. Idk I was pretty disappointed that I paid 300 for it with little to no quality control. It was as if they just ordered some parts slapped it together and said that's 300. I have a 75 rod I got on sale from old18 that is way nicer looking than this.

It's a very nice blank and the components are mostly great but it's the worksman ship of the rod that doesn't feel like a 300 rod should. There is glue sticking out between the cork handle and where it sits right beneath the reel handle. There was silver paint splats on the blank or its chip missing, I can't really tell I just know it looks ugly. The rod does cast good and is nice and lite. Im just disappointed that I paid 300 bucks for it. I was hoping for a better looking rod then what I received. I have a 75 dollar rod I got from old 18 that looks and feels more high quality than what I received. Just the things to keep in mind if your thinking about buying it.
