You’re drifting the outside edge of a grass flat, sitting low in your kayak and needing every inch of reach to hit the sweet spot. The Old 18 Buoyancy 7'6" Medium Light Moderate Fast Casting Rod loads deep and smooth, sending 1/8–3/8 oz baits exactly where you want them while its carbon mix blank keeps subtle ticks and pressure changes crystal clear.
Working down a wind-blown bank, you bomb a light swimbait past a point and feel it tick rock in eight feet of water.
