The Traverse Series is for swimbaits. A work of art from Master Builder Jake Brewer, the Traverse is the perfect tool for dragging giants. 7' 10" length for leveraging a deep dive on your pull. A premium carbon, American-made blank, 316 black stainless guides, Seaguide seats, and the tacky grip of the unique, one-piece carbon fiber handle let you either finesse when necessary or dig when have to. Show 'em your serious and make 'em drool over the tactical color scheme with pops of red.

Handles all Arigs and swimbaits perfectly! Good weight balance and sensitivity even though it's a heavy duty rod!
This rod handles big swimbaits very nicely and feels very comfortable in your hands
The big stick I picked up from Old 18, Traverse Swim Bait rod is absolutely one of the highest quality rods we have ever purchased. Amazing craftsmanship went into the build of this powerful beast!! Caught several big fish so far, but waiting to grab one of those elusive giants and haul it in with this amazing rod. Great in all aspects from feel and cast ability. Great work!!
Awesome rods and the company logos look fantastic. Thank you Old 18.
This is my third rod from Old 18. My first was the Ascent 7’3”MH and I was really impressed so I ended up getting the Medium and a Kinetic Ultralight casting rod as well. These are my go to now. Thinking of getting a suppressor next.
I paired with a Shimano slx bfs reel and it handles great. I’ve thrown down to 1/16th oz without issue. Biggest fish I’ve caught on it so far is a 2.5lb smallie but I’ve no doubt it’ll handle bigger fish just fine.
Rod purchased within the month, with a few casts made. Last Saturday the butt section fractured during an overhand cast with a 1/8 oz lipless crank.
The butt section is very small in diameter compared to the butt tapers for most casting rods. Submitted in the warranty support form for next steps. The workmanship and components are very nice, but can’t have this happen.
Used many overseas bfs rods currently but this rod handle salt water exceptionally well, from spotted bay bass, to surf perch and even some undersize halibuts. Lost some cudas in the bay but that was not the rod's fault(mostly line and me getting too excited), all and all I'd say this is my go to rod for everything bay and surf fishing now.
