I finally had a chance to use this rod today. After dragging lures through some weeds, it is easy to tell the difference between a light bite VS snagging up on some weeds. I hate setting the hook on salad. Love the rod. It brought in seven decent northern pike today.
This is my 3rd Old18 rod and my first Kinetic. It feels like it's a bit faster and has more backbone than my Ascent 7’ UL. Got it paired with a Curado BFS-XG with PE 0.6Goh and 4# leader. This rod can flick sub 2g up to 5g lures (total weight) without a problem. This is now my go to UL BFS combo!
I’m a size “shmedium” so went with M. After washing it did shrink a bit but it fits great. Inside liner is a little bit warmer and soft which is plus. The sticking and silk screening is of good quality and still holding up. Highly recommend.
Bad service never got my rod
