I ordered the 7’2” but they send me the 7’3” instead.
I've had the Suppressor for about 6 months now. It's an absolute work horse. Great sensitivity, lightweight and handles the fish well. Extremely confident on the water with the Suppressor.
The Supressor series is a great value for such a quality rod. They never disappoint with performance of a top end rod with a great price point. I’d recommend Old 18 to anyone looking for quality at a great price.
This has been by far my favorite rod for drop shot. It’s very sensitive and extremely light. It gets the job done!!
I just picked up two of these rods a couple of weeks ago. Out of the box they looked great and felt great in the hand, still do. However, the first day out on the water I was very disappointed with the lack of sensitivity. I have a Hallow Point and a Ballistic rod from Old18 and love them a lot and expected the same great product. Unfortunately, out of all of my other similarly priced rods from several different brands, these two Ascent rods are the least sensitive rods on my boat and I’m not quite sure what to think about that, as I had really high expectations of them. You live, you learn I guess.
Excellent rod for almost any bass fishing application. Very sensitive tip with plenty of backbone. Well done.
I finally had a chance to use this rod today. After dragging lures through some weeds, it is easy to tell the difference between a light bite VS snagging up on some weeds. I hate setting the hook on salad. Love the rod. It brought in seven decent northern pike today.
