You slide along a calm grass edge, hull barely disturbing the surface. A small bait sails under a low branch on a tight-angle cast—quiet, controlled, intentional. The Old 18 Buoyancy 7'0" Light Spinning Extra Fast turns those subtle ticks and pressure changes into unmistakable signals, giving you the sensitivity and control needed for finesse presentations in shallow, pressured water.
In 2–8 ft around docks, sparse hydrilla, or mangrove edges, the rod excels with small swimbaits, light jigs, and downsized plastics. The extra fast tip relays every grass blade tick, while the mid-section keeps steady pressure during close-quarters fights from a seated kayak, where leverage and angles matter.
Light-line fishing demands sensitivity you can trust. Equip your finesse setup with a rod that keeps you connected, confident, and ready the moment a subtle strike loads the blank.
A 1000–2500 size spinning reel with 6–10 lb braid or 4–8 lb fluoro balances the blank and enhances sensitivity.
Yes, the 30+24 ton blank provides enough backbone for light inshore work while still protecting finesse lures.
The rod is factory-rated for 3/16–3/8 oz lures, ideal for small swimbaits, finesse jigs, and downsized hard baits.
Absolutely—the extra fast tip and low weight make low-angle skip casts easy in tight kayak positions.
Yes, the composite handle and 316 components resist corrosion; a fresh water rinse after trips is recommended.
