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.
One is good one is junk, poor quality eye was broke when I received it, where the reel seat tighten it was not glued not impressed
Very nice fishing rod
7' ultra light, casting, minimalist quality, rod for 'VERY' light tackle Redfish & Trout fishing. Add a super small, light weight, low-pro baitcaster and ya have the Ultimate Light Tackle combo. Since purchasing two, I'm not using any others. Reminds me of some rods I had years ago, that I fished ultra-light till the reel seats fell off. Those Bass BFS guys think they invented UL. Sorry fella's ''No you didn't''
So far I’m really enjoying my new Buoyancy rod. There 2 things I’d like to mention that I’ve noticed. First is there is a small excess epoxy drip on the finger grip right where my index finger rests. It doesn’t bother me when I hold the rod but, it’s there. The other thing is in all of the photos I’ve seen the entire rod had a sealed/shiny finish. My rod came matte or without a shiny finish. Again, I don’t mind the matte look and I’m sure it’s for weight savings however, that is not how the rod appears in any photos I’ve seen when purchasing the rod. It makes me think that my rod wasn’t finished but I’m almost positive that isn’t the case and perhaps it was just a design change from the online photos.
Im not really brand loyal to fishing rods as much ae i am for reels. But these rods are the first ones in a while to make me want all old 18 rods. This knighthawk rod feels twice as expensive and super sensitive and still light weight. Love it
I put this to use the day I got it. 26 fish in and I
Am over the moon with it. I will buy others soon
