I started this series with the medium light casting, in a moderate action. super good hookups for #1-#1.5 squarebills, small cranks and jigs, when you need to keep them pinned and flopped in the boat this rod will get it done. very nice finish, and a great alternative to the oh-so-common cork handle found on most rods. after landing several fun LMB on this rod, i came back to Old18 and got the same rod, with spinning reel handle. both are super fun to fish!
Fantastic customer service and great value for American made Rods. Rods are my favorite bass fishing rods.
I think this one is number 20 of My old 18 rod collection with 21 and 22 still on the way with another Buoyancy Light Spinning and Midnight Ultralight casting. The Midnights are paired with Bates Hundo LTS reels and this Buoyancy and the one coming are paired with ne Shimano 2025 Sustain FK reels. I use all of my Old 18 collection in both fresh and salt, for bass on my local lakes and especially the "smallies" on the Susquehanna River here in PA As well as on the shallow flats of the Chesapeake Bay in MD and VA for chasing Reds and Specs as well as our infamous Rockfish (Stripers). But fret not, I am a native Texan who grew up on the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast fishing the same waters of those two psychos, MDLR and RX Angler, Most importantly, I am a veteran and fully support Veteran run buisnesses.
