Love the rod, I have paired with Abu Garcia Revo Premier LP Casting Reel and you can feel any bite. Best combo set I own! There’s no other combo I have that is this good! Rod holds up to any fish in the marsh

Had a couple weeks to fish this rod it is a beauty and everything I was hoping it would be I got the old version so I can only imagine what the new version would be like don’t really care for the foam on the handle would rather had the carbon fiber new version but the rod itself was great got a handful of trout already and panfish season is around the corner woohooo

This rod performs just as well as it looks! Shipping was very quick,less than a week from order to at my door! I’ve used this rod on 5 trips since I got it and have caught about 20 fish with it. Paired it with a Bates Goat 150 reel. This thing is a tank,no problem horsing 4+ pounders out of thick hydroplane or pads. Super sensitive and light enough to use all day if needed. Will definitely be buying more Old18 rods in the future. 🤙🏽

Have to say was skeptical at first never had a long UL stick but after fishing it last couple weeks this thing is sweet !!!! I still would love them to make them in shorter lengths like a 6’3 or a 6 ft in casting but if your thinking about purchasing this rod don’t over think it you will love it

I can’t believe how nice this rod actually is. I purchased it when it was on sale and it has the attributes of a custom rod that would cost hundreds more. I will definitely be adding more Old 18 rods to my arsenal!

I put this to use the day I got it. 26 fish in and I
Am over the moon with it. I will buy others soon

Finish is excellent! The balance is very good. Excellent soft tip, excellent backbone, perfect balance between the two! Buttery smooth rod!!! Workhorse and elegance combined!!!

The suppressor is a great rod. plenty of back bone for bringing in those big salty inshore species.

It amazes me how easily this rod paired with a bfs reel handles any marsh fish!

Fishing ultralight in salt and fresh for as long as I remember. The old 18 suppressor is my go to for virtually all inshore and freshwater fishing. It can make a crappie fun and can horse in a trophy flounder. Truly a jack of all trades and for my kind of fishing a match made in heaven. If you are on the fence on getting one, get two.

I haven't been fishing for very long but I've tried many different manufactures. From ugly stick, shinano, daiwa, st croix and TFO. I decided to give the Old 18 Suppressor a shot. My most expensive rod as of now and I will definitely be ordering more from them. I feel every noble and it's pulled 3 lbs smallies to little pumpkin seeds. Great rod.

Got this one with Inshore in mind. However, I use all my 5 Old18 a lot more in fresh water Bass fishing. For now, I only use it in a few trips. Caught several bass but all small (1.5-2 lbs). Still waiting for a real test. So far, feels like my other 2 Suppressor. Light feel, good sensitivity, and a nice back bone. Maybe a important feature: this is a FAST rod. You might lose a bit distance casting, and might not be able to cast lighter lures, but you will get more sensitivity. Take advantage of the new price and get one for yourself. Please guys make a 7' Med Light Fast. I'll pre order one.

This is an exceptional rod! I got it on sale but would have been just as happy had I spent $100 more. It’s that good! Veteran owned and made in Texas is a win win! Thanks Old 18 for an amazing product!

Rod is awsome in every way will be buying more and recommending others to also get one. Makes it effortless keeping tension on the line.

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.

I was waiting to catch a nice bass before I did a review. I put a Flight Feather Cormorant reel on this rod.It weighs a whopping 7.5 ounces as a combo. Rod is crazy sensitive and much stronger than its UL rating. Very happy with the rod. Caught this bass today on this combo. I now own eight Old 18 rods.
C
Great rod. Very sensitive & great feel

Randy provided stellar customer service which enabled me to get this new rod. I own several Old 18 rods. Took it out for the first time this am. It performed as expected. The proof is in the pictures. Thanks Again Old 18.

This rod is the best rod I've gotten to date and this company will be my favorite for the foreseeable future. First time out on the water in a while and this rod performed. Caught multiple dinks specks but hit my limit. From a 15 to a 20 incher over the past few hours of night fishing, this rod handle it all. It's a must buy rod and worth the 5 stars
B
Outstanding rod…nice backbone with lots of feel in the tip. Paired it with the Aldebaran for use primarily in salt marsh. Couldn’t be happier with this setup! The complimentary items were a very nice touch as well. Thanks again!

I'm very impressed with the quality and looks of this rod. I paired it up with a Shimano Vanford 3000. I still love my hollow point rods, but this is my new favorite.
