The Kistler Rod Company has developed a line of fishing tools that are unique in the fishing
world today. Kistler has looked carefully at what makes a rod good and how to improve on
today's technology to make them better. The first thing you'll notice about the Kistler Rods is
the complete absence of a foregrip. Their reasoning is that a piece of cork or worse yet a
piece of foam will dampen any vibration coming up the graphite blank and eliminate the
most subtle vibrations which are often the most important ones! Now, your fingers will be
directly in contact with the blank and the lightest bite will be felt easily. The absence of a
foregrip also reduces the weight of these rods. Kistler calls this their "Smart Touch" reel
seat. Look closer and you'll notice the exclusive "Hook Hanger" hook keeper that enables
you to attach your hook without removing it from your soft plastic bait, a very thoughtful design
feature. You'll really like the flanged ring tip tops that help eliminate knocked out inserts on
the tip tops that can ruin a day's fishing. Finally, Kistler is happy to offer their World Class
"NO Hassle" Limited Lifetime Warranty.
