Fish Light Soft Plastics and Moving Baits with More Give

Light spinning presentations often benefit from a rod that combines casting range with a more progressive load. The Old 18 Knighthawk 7' Medium Light Spinning Rod Mod-Fast pairs medium-light power and a mod-fast action with a 1/4- to 1/2-ounce lure rating, giving anglers a versatile setup for appropriately weighted soft plastics, small moving baits, and other light-tackle presentations.

Versatile Light-Tackle Performance in a 7-Foot Spinning Rod

  • ✅ Medium-light power and a 1/4- to 1/2-ounce lure rating suit a useful range of light soft plastics, small moving baits, and other appropriately weighted spinning presentations
  • ✅ Mod-fast action allows the blank to load more progressively than a typical fast-action setup, adding useful give for moving and treble-hook baits
  • ✅ 7'0" length provides useful casting reach and line control when covering water or working presentations away from the boat or kayak
  • ✅ 6-12 lb line rating keeps the rod positioned in a lighter spinning role without limiting it to ultra-light tackle
  • ✅ 40-ton graphite blank with X-Wrap construction keeps published rod weight to 4.1 ounces
  • ✅ 9.5-inch split-grip cork handle provides a compact rear grip for active casting and rod control
  • ✅ Eight 316 stainless marine-grade guides with zirconia rings complete the spinning guide train

Real-World Performance

Within its 1/4- to 1/2-ounce lure range, the KH-70MLS-MF can cover light soft-plastic presentations as well as small crankbaits and other moving lures. The 7-foot length provides useful casting reach, while the mod-fast action adds progressive flex that can help maintain steady pressure when a fish is hooked on a treble-hook bait or lighter tackle.

Add the KH-70MLS-MF when you want a medium-light spinning setup that can move between light soft plastics and appropriately weighted moving baits without being locked into one technique.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Old 18 Knighthawk 7' Medium Light Spinning Rod Mod-Fast

What presentations suit the KH-70MLS-MF?

This model fits a versatile light-tackle role for appropriately weighted soft plastics, small moving baits, and similar spinning presentations. Keep the complete lure or rig within Old 18's published 1/4- to 1/2-ounce rating.

Is this rod a good choice for small crankbaits?

Small crankbaits that fall within the 1/4- to 1/2-ounce lure range are a logical application for its medium-light power and mod-fast action. The more progressive action provides additional give compared with a typical fast-action spinning rod.

How does Mod-Fast differ from Fast on a spinning rod?

A fast-action rod concentrates more of its initial flex toward the tip, while a mod-fast configuration transitions farther into the blank as it loads. That added give can be useful when fishing moving or treble-hook presentations.

How does this rod differ from the Medium Knighthawk spinning model?

The Medium Light KH-70MLS-MF is rated for 6-12 lb line and 1/4- to 1/2-ounce lures, while the 7' Medium Mod-Fast Knighthawk is rated for 8-17 lb line and 1/4- to 5/8-ounce lures. The Medium Light model keeps the setup on the lighter side of the Knighthawk spinning lineup.

Is the KH-70MLS-MF a one-technique spinning rod?

No. Old 18 does not assign this model to one specific technique, and its medium-light, mod-fast configuration gives it a broader light-tackle role across presentations that stay within its published line and lure ratings.
