Precision engineering for the water’s edge

The OLD18 Knighthawk Series is built for the Precision Strike Angler—those who value targeted accuracy and reliable feedback in every cast. At its core lies a 40-ton graphite blank, finished with a distinctive X-Wrap pattern that signals both flexibility and strength. This combination is designed to feel responsive in the hand, translating subtle line load into confident actions at the moment of strike. The rod’s one-piece construction enhances sensitivity and directness, helping you sense the tiniest bite while maintaining a lightweight feel for extended sessions.

What you feel and how it performs

• 40-Ton Graphite Blank with X-Wrap: exceptional sensitivity with crisp action for precise casts.
• Ergonomic Split Cork Handle (8.5 inches): all-day comfort and a secure grip to reduce fatigue.
• 316 Stainless Steel Guides with Zirconia Rings: rust resistance and smoother line flow under varied conditions.

Real-world use: where precision shines

Designed for anglers who demand pinpoint accuracy, the Knighthawk excels in scenarios requiring quick, accurate placements and confident follow-up. The combination of a lightweight yet strong blank and a direct connection from hand to line helps you optimize rod tip timing, whether you’re casting to structure, covering wadeable flats, or fishing from a boat in variable currents.

• Direct vibration transfer makes strike detection more intuitive in windy or choppy conditions.
• Smooth guides and zirconia rings reduce friction for longer, more controlled casts.

Durability and reliability across conditions

Built to withstand varied environments, the Knighthawk’s one-piece construction delivers strength and sensitivity in a single piece for instant feedback. Stainless steel guides resist corrosion, while the zirconia rings keep line flow consistent, ensuring dependable performance when saltwater, freshwater, or changing weather test the balance.
