Great rods!!

Amazing rod

I have about 10 old18 rods . These are absolutely the best . I love the way they feel and handle the lures I throw. I am wade fishing 95% of the time and these rods hold up to the hard elements of the Salt water. I will always recommend old18 rods to anyone!

Already have an ultra light 7’ Suppressor; picked up this Buoyancy rod to complement the Suppressor. The fit and finish of the rod is great; it’s super lightweight and has a great moderate action. Took it out this past weekend paired with a Gekkabijin BFS and it performed like a dream. Didn’t throw anything lighter than 1/16oz, but the 1/16oz lures I threw went a country mile and hit every target I chose. Biggest fish I landed was a catfish that weighed a tad over 3.5lbs. Super fun fight and brought her in no problem. If you enjoy BFS you will love Old 18’s ultralight casting gear. Very happy with this rod and proud to support Old 18! 👍🏼

UPDATE: 2/13/26 - Fished with the set-up above again today and hooked into a 16lb catfish. Buoyancy Ultralight never missed a beat. Rod was doubled over the entire 30-minute fight. Super impressed with how lightweight and strong these Old 18 Buoyancy rods are. If you are on the fence, pull the trigger on one of these rods. Can’t beat their performance + the sale price is a great deal. No regrets. Tight lines!

The most sensitive and lightest rod I've yet to use. I caught my biggest fish on rod and reel on this rod a 36" flathead catfish. I can't recommend these rods enough.

I haven’t been able to fish with it yet but if it’s anything like the two I purchased in November I’m sure I will love it. I am getting ready to buy one higher end rod and I’m looking at all the major brands. I would like a rod to use for small square bills a casting rod any advice from old 18 would be greatly appreciated thanks and have a great day

Loved the rods. Ultra light action for chasing tailing redfish.

I'm amazed by how light weight the rod is. Seems like it will be very sensitive to the bite! Can't wait to try it out. I was also very impressed by the packaging it was shipped in. Theres no way it would come damaged the way it was packed.

sleeves are as nice as any

Very good product

This rod is light, affordable, has a strong backbone, and can fling my paddle tails a long way. Caught 2 26 inch reds back to back on this rod and I had no issues hauling them in.

Best of the best my fifth rod from this company

Yet another beautiful Buoyancy from Old 18 and another of many Old 18 rods in my inventory. This will be paired with a Bates 150 Salty and 20 pound braid and fished from my Old Town Autopilot 120 on the flats of the Maryland and Virginia Chesapeake Bay as well as when I can get home to Texas and Louisiana. Haven't had the opportunity to use it yet due to winter here but as soon as I do I will submit some images.
