The Old 18 Kinetic 7'0" Medium Mod-Fast Spinning Rod brings tournament-grade performance within reach of every angler. Built from a 30-ton carbon blank infused with nano resin, it offers superior strength, responsiveness, and feel while remaining light enough for all-day casting. The coated 304 stainless steel guides deliver corrosion resistance, and the split-grip EVA handle provides comfort even during long sessions on the water.
Perfect for both freshwater finesse applications and light inshore work, the Kinetic’s moderate-fast taper combines a sensitive tip for detecting subtle strikes with a strong backbone for confident hooksets. Its clean red-and-gray aesthetic completes a rod that looks as good as it performs.

The 30-ton carbon blank with nano-infused resin provides exceptional strength-to-weight performance. It resists fatigue and damage from repeated flexing. Avoid exceeding rated lure and line weights for optimal lifespan.
Absolutely. The 7-foot length offers strong casting reach without being cumbersome in a kayak. Its mod-fast action gives excellent bite detection even from a seated position and helps control fish near the boat.
