Kinetic - 7'3" Medium Heavy Casting Fast
I just recently bought the 7'3 fast but u have it paired with a diawa elite reel for texas rig bass fishing. If it's as tough as the 7'0 ultra light I'm gonna rip some lips 2025. Thanks old 18!
I am developing my technique as the fast tip has caused me to set the hook differently. so honing my skills to catch more big bass.
The Kinetic rods are awesome! I would recommend these rods to anyone who’s shopping on a budget. Best bang for your buck!
I had bought the baitcast a couple of weeks ago. I was so impressed that I bought the matching spincast. 7ft med-lite. I have arthritis in both hands and the lightness of the rods are incredible. Somedays I need to switch from baitcast to soincast depends on the pain. But these rods are a perfect fit for me to fish all day long.
Nice craftsmanship and very impressed with the performance. The only thing I was disappointed in was the bottom cap of the rod was offset significantly. Other than that I would definitely like to add more rods eventually. This purchase was for a technique.
Not to be disrespectful to the gentleman that commented on the rods being fast and not mod-fast as labeled...I've built rods for a very long time and all of the (5) old 18 rods I have are spot on to line weight/power ratings 💯..that being said I use these for flounder fishing on a big sand flat by my house and they are the best "Budget" rod I have ever used and trump rods/blanks I have payed big money for..the sensitivity for the price point is absolutely ridiculous...I can feel the tick/heaviness of a flounder bite on the end of a very long cast...my whole rod building journey/rod buying journey is/was to find the perfect blank/rod for me and the 7'6" ml it just flat gets it done regardless of price point...plz keep in mind just my opinion rods are very personal/specific to the end user..my journey stops here @old18 god bless 🙏
Comparing this rod to the Old 18 UL Suppressor and Buoyancy, the fit and finish isn’t quite as fancy (foam grip, number of guides). But, make no mistake, this rod kicks butt. Pair it with a decent BFS reel and it flat out delivers. Mine started with an old Zephyr but recently upgraded to an SS Air BFS from Digitaka. Rod/reel combos slings 1/16 oz lures as far as you like and the sensitivity is solid. Great rod, you won’t be disappointed. 👍🏼
