I have several custom rods & multiple high end brands like Expride & Adrenas. These rods are just as good if not better. In my opinion the tips are a lil more sensitive than most especially when it comes to casting. My first fish caught on it was a 9.43lb largemouth & it really handled it well. I will definitely be purchasing more.
Used inshore for ned set-up...I've built rods for a long time.This blank/build is very very nice for the price point 💯I've paid $200+ for rods/blanks that do not compare to this kinetic series...this is my third one..I will continue to do business with old 18 it's just too expensive to build rods anymore and makes no sense when you can purchase a rod as nice as this...thankyou and God bless 🙏
I am a walleye tournament anywhere and there will not be another ride on my boat next year that does not say 18 on it
Excellent lightweight spinning rod, great for drop shot, small swimbaits, etc.
This rod is amazing. I paired it up with a Shimano Stella 3k compact and it is a great pond hopping combo. The rod is light and great for casting light lures but has a strong back bone to set the hook.
