The Traverse Series Swimbait Rod is the perfect rod for dragging giants. Traverse Rods are works of art from Master Builder Jake Brewer that give you the confidence that every hook set will drag in the giants! The Traverse sports a premium Northfork carbon, American-made blank, 316 black stainless guides, ALPS reel seats, and the tacky grip of the unique, one-piece carbon fiber handle. Combined, they let you either finesse when necessary or dig deep 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!!
Rod is awsome in every way will be buying more and recommending others to also get one. Makes it effortless keeping tension on the line.
Action and build are excellent! Haven’t fished it yet,working to much. Can’t wait to use it, Balances perfectly with 22 Aldebaran bfs reel.
The action of the rod if beautiful and the blank itself is top notch but basically is all your paying for, oh and the recoil guides wich I don't understand the hype on them they look and act like any other guides I've had on a nice rod. Whoever put the rod together left it looking more like a 100 rod than a 300. There is glue coming out the seems where the cork meets the reel handle. Below that there is another piece that you can see is not even and looks bad. Idk I was pretty disappointed that I paid 300 for it with little to no quality control. It was as if they just ordered some parts slapped it together and said that's 300. I have a 75 rod I got on sale from old18 that is way nicer looking than this.
Top rods!!! Can Handle big fish, love it
I'm a pro kayak tournament guy and I just order my 5th rod from Old 18. The quality is top notch. The rods have not failed me yet and I don't expect them to ever. My plan is to only be fishing Old 18 only here in the near future. I would recommend this rods to every fisherman, friend and family member I can. I
