Love this rod; it is easily my favorite rod out of all the ones that I own.
I absolutely loved my first. I broke it (my fault) and got a second. I had some concerns about the second, and the company's communication was admittedly slow, but it is a small company, so I understand. In the end, all was well. For the rods, they both feel and look amazing. I paired mine with an Ark Gravity, and it is for sure my favorite combo. I'm already looking to buy my second, likely a suppressor model. This was not the most expensive rod I have purchased, but I think it is the best one I own.
This is my 4th Old 18 rod and this may be my favorite one yet. Fit and finish are great, the rod is light in the hand, and the sensitivity is unreal. I will continue to recommend and purchase Old 18 rods.
