Featuring premium Fuji Aluminum-Oxide Micro Guides, the Kistler Micro Magnesium Casting Rods are extremely lightweight and responsive. Japanese and US custom rod builders have proven and refined the Micro Guide Setup over the past 20 years, but it has long remained a secret to most anglers. That is until now.

Offering some key advantages over conventional guides, the Fuji Micro Guides are a full 1/4-ounce lighter for starters, and the reduced mass of the Micro Guides translates into increased vibration transfer and sensitivity as well. Their smaller size and the fact that they sit much closer to the blank also ensures less line tangling and fewer backlashes - eliminating the "line slap" produced by conventional guides. These same properties also allow fishing line to fly through the guides for longer casts, while also neutralizing the issue of guide frame torque, as well as, broken or cracked guides/inserts.

A no fore-grip design further reduces weight and facilitates sensitivity transfer, and a Fuji, blank-exposed Reel Seat in conjunction with a high-grade cork, split grip handle system provides all-day comfort and superior balance. Delivering cutting-edge performance, the Kistler Micro Magnesium Casting Rods are lightweight and super sensitive bass fishing tools.

Comments: Just broke in my second one of these, works like a dream.  Lightweight, cool looking, and ultralong casts.  The 7 ft medium heavy worked great as a chatterbait and midsize swimbait rod.

Comments: Kistler has out done themselves, these rods are just great, just like the people that work at kistler. You owe it yourself to try these rods.

Comments: This has got to be one of the best rods I've own.  I was skeptical of the micro guides, but after reading more into it...I finally bought the Kister micro.  To me, it feels very sensitive and I can feel the sneaky nibbles the bass makes on my soft bait lures.  With my 201E curado mated to this rod...it's very light.  Imagine the new 50E curado with this rod...another perfect setup.

Comments:Obviously my last comment was tongue in cheek, but I wanted to add one thing. I use a fluorocarbon leader attached to braid most of the time and was concerned how that would work with the micro guides. I had been tying a double uni knot, but that isn't so great with the micro guides. However, I recently switched to the Albright knot, and that slips through the guides pretty well. Also, I was skeptical about pitching light lures but I have been able to throw micro chatterbaits no problem. So to sum up, great rod, very versatile, light, cool looking, use the Albright knot for leaders.

Comments:I have a serious complaint about my new Kistler Micro guide rod. I was consistently missing my targets due to casting 10-15 feet further than I am used to on every cast. How dare Kistler make a rod that forces me to rethink my casting angles!

Comments:I got the 7' Heavy rod and it is great. I think the micro guides really help improve sensitivity.
