Rods
Rod purchased within the month, with a few casts made. Last Saturday the butt section fractured during an overhand cast with a 1/8 oz lipless crank.
The butt section is very small in diameter compared to the butt tapers for most casting rods. Submitted in the warranty support form for next steps. The workmanship and components are very nice, but can’t have this happen.
Used many overseas bfs rods currently but this rod handle salt water exceptionally well, from spotted bay bass, to surf perch and even some undersize halibuts. Lost some cudas in the bay but that was not the rod's fault(mostly line and me getting too excited), all and all I'd say this is my go to rod for everything bay and surf fishing now.
First purchase from Old 18 and really liking this rod. Paired it with a Shimano Calcutta Conquest and it’s an awesome set up.
Rod seems well built, good quality, light and sensitive. Really like the extra fast tip which lends to very good hook up ratio.
