First cast with the new rod got me a 4.7 pound largemouth on a Z Man finesse cross-eyed jig with a baby goat trailer. I have this rod paired with a Diawa Tatula CT bait caster. I own a bunch of Old 18 rods, both casting and spinning and this is my first Suppressor and certainly not my last. Once again, and as usual Old 18 comes through with flying colors. As a veteran, I support my veteran brothers and their ventures.
Great product, and Old 18 Rod company are s top notch
We purchased several Old 18 rods for our upcoming banquet to pair up with some nice reels and the rods look awesome! We did this last year and the folks that won the rods were really excited and appreciative of the quality!
The Old 18 Ultra Light Kinetic gives great casting and sensitivity in marshes for redfish, trout and flounder. I prefer the Kinetic rod eyelets which are larger ( than Buoyancy) which has less friction for the braid to fluoro knot. The setup gives you fewer wind knots. The rod flexes for trout yet has backbone for over slot reds.
This rod is light and the feel of the grip, balance and ridgitiy is simple awesome! I'm going to be using it as a strolling set up for ffs on largemouth bass! The lakes are still kinda frozen around here. Will upload a pic of the first bass i catch! I have it paired with a lews light hypermag reel, 10lb braid and 10lb floro leader!
Wow, this rod is incredible. Two of my favorite companies in one, and perfect for the small swim baits I love to throw with enough backbone to consistently set the hook. I’d say get one, but I got the last one… hopefully they’ll make something like this again soon, but in the meantime, I’m also very happy with my suppressor.
