Kistler Z-Bone LE Casting Rods

The LE in the Kistler Z-Bone LE Casting Rods stands for Limited Edition.  Only a limited number of the Z-Bone LE Rods will be built and individually serial numbered each year - just 1,000 will be built in 2011, and only 3,000 in 2012. 

Handcrafted by Kistler’s own rod experts and featuring custom-designed blanks, made in America by Gary Loomis and his new company - North Fork Composites - the Kistler Z-Bone LE Casting Rods are the lightest, strongest, and most sensitive rods that Kistler has ever built.  And since these rods are not mass-produced, Kistler can individually craft each rod to the highest standards possible.  The exclusive and rare combination of North Fork Composite’s paper-carbon scrim and extremely high-modulus Next Generation HM graphite provides the Z-Bone LE Series Rods with a strength-to-weight ratio that is unequaled in the market today, and each rod also features a Raw Carbon finish, which involves a unique sanding and polishing process that requires no gloss or paint coating, and in turn, maximizes each rod’s incredible sensitivity and lightweight balance.

New Fuji K-Style Tangle-Free Micro Guides with Alconite inserts and stainless steel frames further enhance sensitivity, while also furnishing increased casting distance and accuracy, and greatly reducing rod weight. In addition, Kistler’s Advanced Micro Guide locking wrap system (KAM Lock) is one of the industry’s best methods for locking micro guides in place - eliminating many problems found with micro guide rods today. A premium Fuji ECS single-groove, blank-exposed, reel seats also provides a lightweight base for your reel, and split grip handles with high quality cork grips ensure all day ergonomic comfort.  Taking American-made performance to the next level, the lightweight, ultra sensitive and powerful Kistler Z-Bone LE Casting Rods are also backed by a 100% Money Back Guarantee from Kistler - guaranteeing satisfaction.

Backed by Kistler Rods’ “Smart” One-Year Guarantee. After one-year, Kistler offers Pro-Rated Warranty Protection.

Comments: My favorite rod. I have one of the "rare" 2011 models, the LE4MH70, which is a 7'0 MH action, moderate fast, rated for 1/4-1oz baits. There is nothing better on the market in any category. Paired with a Shimano Core and 20lb FC Sniper fluorocarbon line, this is my absolute favorite combo in the boat. Yeah, it's tough to swallow the cost of these things sometimes. But when you consider the materials, craftsmanship AND the great company that Trey Kistler has put together.. you'll never fish any other brand of rod.

Comments: By far the best rod on the market today.  I have the MH 3 7' and absolutely love it.  It has opened up a whole new level of fishing.  Worth every penny!

Comments: the lightest rod  i have ever held in my 60+years of fishing.I own a 7ft. 3power m/h zbone.The first time i used it, i threw a bomber #7 crankbait about 40 yds. I know they cost a lot of money but are well worth the price.For you old timers out there as well as younger fisherman,save up and get one.treat yourself at least this once.
