I just can't believe how well this rod does with reds, trout and flounder!
I am royal and usually stick with one brand (Abu), but since they didn’t have any BFS specific rod that are within my budget, I decided to give Kinetic a try. Man, this rod is very sensitive and can easily cast 1/16oz with any BFS reels. I haven’t tested the rod for lighter lures, but I have no doubt it will handle 1/32oz. I have no regret buying Kinetic and would love to expand my BFS arsenal with other Old18 rods.
Really enjoying this rod , it feels light but has a great structure to land larger fish if needed. I have it paired with curado bfs xg 1/16th is my go to for this rod up to 1/8 glad I went with old 18 for my first bfs rod
Great action, light weight, well built, balances well with the Calcutta BFS.
Bought mainly for crappie, but have caught bass up to 3lbs on it. Great rod for BFS fishing.
