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.

Beautiful rods
Feels light in the hand, very strong backbone, can launch a swim bait into space if needed without breaking a sweat.
Finally had time to go fish. Paired it with Bates Salty. First fish caught was a 43" Bull red. Handled it like a champ.
Was having a hard time finding a rod that fit my needs. And old 18 had exactly what I needed. Excellent rod and quality!
Absolutely what I expected. Quality rod. I’ll be back!!
I love my other Old 18 rods and have no doubt this will continue to deliver.
Very well made, balanced. Paired with a SEVIIN GW3000 reel.
7'6" medium have a quite a few kinetic old 18 rods...power rating as advertised is off on this one..more like 3/8 oz - 3/4 oz medium+ even dipping into medium heavy..not what I was looking for but kept it anyways..would be good for snook/bull reds and a big jig or popping cork..plugs also.
I have two kinetic rods, one casting and one spinning. Will now only buy old18 rods
