The Traverse Series Swimbait Rod is the perfect rod for dragging giants. Traverse Rods are works of art from Master Builder Jake Brewer that give you the confidence that every hook set will drag in the giants! The Traverse sports a premium Northfork carbon, American-made blank, 316 black stainless guides, ALPS reel seats, and the tacky grip of the unique, one-piece carbon fiber handle. Combined, they let you either finesse when necessary or dig deep when have to. Show 'em your serious and make 'em drool over the tactical color scheme with pops of red.

Finally had time to go fish. Paired it with Bates Salty. First fish caught was a 43" Bull red. Handled it like a champ.
This is a beautiful rod with a super comfortable rod butt. Just long enough to fit under my arm without being too long or too short. I was a little concerned with it being a medium heavy as all my other swimbait rods are heavy or x heavy. I threw up to a 5 oz. R2S tactical glide with no problem and I think that is pretty close to the max for weight rating. I also threw an 8 inch magdraft and the rod with a tranx 300 loaded nicely and launched it a mile. Build quality is really nice. If I didn't already have over 50 rod and reel setups, I may have bought a lot more from Old 18.
Bought this rod to use with A-Rigs. Will absolutely launch an A-Rig. The longer handle makes cast a heavy A-Rig super easy. The leverage you gain is awesome. Makes for a way less strenuous day casting heavy baits.
Be careful with this rod because it can spool your reel when you throw an A-rig! The power is unmatched by any other rod.
My go too! I own 4 and will continue to purchase them in the future. I’ve only had one snap on me (set my hook on a log) but they are very dependable and flexible. I LOVE THESE RODS!
Very light, well built and a good looking rod.
This was my 2nd order for a total of 4 Kinetic Rods. 2 - 7ft light casting and 2 - 7ft light spinning. Will definitely be ordering more. I love the weight and sensitivity of the these rods. If your thinking of trying out one these fishing rods, just do it, you won't be disappointed.
By far the most sensitive ultra light I've felt and the backbone is perfect set the hook and the fish is there right away. Also broke the rod completely my fault but they still helped me out with the 3 year warranty saved me some money on a new one super accommodating couldn't be happier with old 18. Thank yall
Old 18 Kinetic fits the bill! Ordered a 6’10” Medium light and loved it. Got another one the next week. Great all around spinning rod. I have three Old 18 Kinetic spinning rods and cant wait to switch my casting rods over to Old 18.
Great Customer Service and Fast Shipping!
