Another gorgeous Old 18 rod and I have many of them! This will be paired with the Bates Goat 150 Baitcasting reel running 30 pound braid. We're in a "Deep Freeze up here in Pennsylvania and I haven't had an opportunity to use it as of yet. As soon as I do I will submit some pictures as well.
Are they the best? Nope! Is it just another company that makes rods? Yes! Are they worth the price? Nope! It’s just another decent rod nothing to brag about.
The 7'3 medium heavy suppressor is an absolute dream to fish with.The lightness, sensitivity, comfortability,makes this rod a must have.I own G Loomis,St.Croix,Daiwa, Shimano rods,but I always seem to pick up my suppressor!I had to buy a second one!A great rod for all around techniques....an absolute blast to fish with!
I can’t believe how nice this rod actually is. I purchased it when it was on sale and it has the attributes of a custom rod that would cost hundreds more. I will definitely be adding more Old 18 rods to my arsenal!
