Kistler Rods

[earthworm77]

For those of you who know me, you might know I'm on the Regional Pro Staff for Kistler Rod's. For years I used Bass Pro Shops rods and did extremely well. I've used these Kistler rods for a little over a year I've discovered they are better than anything I've ever fished before.

The Kistler Helium LTA is a top shelf rod with a price tag of about 219.00 to 239.00. These rods fish as well as rods costing 350.00 to 450.00. The rods have several unique features such as no foregrip design to ewnhance the ability to use your fingers to feel the blank and detect strikes. The also have a custom feel and design to them. The rods feature an out of the way hook hanger of superior design to any other I've seen. They also have blue Zirconia heat disipating guides that are light and on par with SiC guides. The Helium gets its name for its lighter than air blank. The graphite used is a high modulous material that is reinforced with weight inhibitors to produce a super light, super strong and sensitive product. To me, I can fish this rod all day in comfort and it makes my senses sharper because of it. I currently own 10 Helium Combos and several other Kistler series rods. At least take a look at these rods if you are interested in getting a more sensitive feel out of the products you use.

I can't add much too that except that now that we have tried them thanks to Bob Popp, we use them all the time. They are unique in design, and as good if not superior to G.Loomis.

i got my first look at these rods at the NY boat show and i was very impressed!... they are incredibly light
