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.
My favorite BFS rod. If I could redo all my rods to old 18 I’d do it
Finally got to go fishing and try out my new Kinetic fishing pole!! Landed some speckled trout with it. Casting was really good and the feel was just right!! Hope to catch some red fish on it soon.
Great bend .Great feeling . Guides not the best . Great value rod for beginners. Does the job for it's purpose.
I received the Kinetic heavy as a generous replacement by Old 18 because of my Ambush heavy broke during a hook set. I used it this weekend fishing Perky lake in Texas throwing a Texas rig with 1/2 ounce tungsten in 8’-24’ foot of water, fishing the edge of hydrilla grass. The rod was superb and never missed a hook set. The sensitivity when the bass would hit my lure was easy to identify. The backbone of this rod and the way it performed in this condition was remarkable for the price of this rod. I’m an avid weekend tournament fisherman and being retired military and law enforcement officer I can’t normally afford higher priced rods. Im sold on Old 18 rods and will let everyone know of the high quality of this rod and the excellent customer service I received..
Thank you Old 18
Sincerely,
Dan Wolff
