Product came in an indestructible cardboard tube the 7-footer rips lip like a mofo ..... haven't trout fished in 20 years but I am hooked meow.
Great rod will be getting another
I bought this rod for BFS bass fishing. It is excellent ! Great sensitivity for bottom contact, but flexes enough for reaction baits.
The Winn grips are a pleasant bonus. This rod is a joy to use and I would recommend it to anyone. Quality is top notch and so is Old 18's service.
I've been fishing with this Kinetic rod for several months and it is truly impressive. It is extremely light, which makes it easy to cast all day long, yet strong enough to handle any of the inshore species in Tampa Bay. This rod is also exceptionally sensitive, it is able to detect the slightest of bites.
Pairs great with the Aldebaran reel. Catching bass on this combo is a blast. Thank you Old18 for such a nice BFS fishing Rod.
