You ease the kayak along a grass edge, watching bait flicker on the surface and current push across a point. A small jig sails out on a low, accurate cast and you feel every tick as it glides along bottom. The Old 18 Buoyancy 7'0" Medium Light Spinning Mod Fast gives you that blend of sensitivity and power that keeps you connected on light line without feeling outgunned.
In 3–10 ft of water around docks, riprap, or sparse grass, this rod sends a 1/8–1/4 oz jig or swimbait exactly where you point it. From a seated kayak you feel bottom composition change, detect light pickups from trout or bass, and lean into a smooth, controlled bend that keeps fish pinned without overpowering small hooks.
Bite windows on shallow flats and along current seams are short. Put a medium light rod in your lineup that covers your key finesse weights, keeps you comfortable all day, and lets you read every subtle change in pressure before the fish knows you are there.
A 2000–2500 size spinning reel with 8–12 lb braid and a 6–10 lb fluorocarbon leader keeps the combo light, balanced, and sensitive.
It is rated for 1/8–3/8 oz and excels with small swimbaits, finesse jigs, light Texas rigs, and downsized jerkbaits in shallow to mid-depth water.
Yes, the 6–12 lb line rating and medium light power give enough backbone to control typical inshore fish while still protecting light leaders and small hooks.
The 7'0" length and light weight make it easy to cast from a seated position, skip under docks, and work baits close to the boat without feeling bulky.
Absolutely, it works well for shaky heads, light Texas rigs, and small swimbaits when targeting largemouth, smallmouth, or spots on light line.
