Kistler Fishing Rods

One of the most amazing aspects of Kistler’s success story is that they have only been producing rods for a little over ten years whereas other rod companies have been in business for fifty or even eighty years. And yet, the Kistler line of rods is rapidly overtaking these older companies to become the rod of choice for many fishermen who are travelling the waters today.

One of the secrets of Kistler’s success lies in the materials they use to make the blanks. Unlike many other rod manufacturers, Kistler opted to not rely on the graphite that has become the mainstay of many modern fishing rods. Whether they are using a graphite core wrapped in other materials or they are opting for a pure graphite rod, other manufacturers have managed some interesting variations on the same tune. But Kistler moves to the beat of a different drummer and it shows.

Instead of relying on graphite, the Kistler line of rods has utilized magnesium and helium to give their blanks structure and strength. This means that your Kistler rod is going to feel unlike any of the others that are currently available. Because of the unique materials that the blanks are made out of you will often find that Kistler rods are lighter and therefore more responsive than other rods on the market. And a more responsive rod translates directly into your ability to catch more fish.

Why? If you are like most fishermen, you want to be able to sense the movement of the fish and be able to tell when you are getting a nibble or two. Getting nibbles can lead directly to getting a good strike and being able to set your hook quickly to prevent your fish from escaping. More responsive rods also allow you to feel the movement of the fish once your hook has been set and the fight has begun. The fact is that heavier rods simply do not allow this to happen.

If you are tired of rods that don’t quite measure up, the ability to custom build a rod is perhaps one of the best features of Kistler fishing rods. Imagine being able to build your rod from butt to tip. You can select many different features including length, guide size, handle and other details that give you the exact rod that you need. If you go to the Kistler website, you will be able to custom build your rod. They are bringing this feature to their new 2010 line of Z-Bone rods as well so even people who want the latest technology can build their own custom rod.

If you are someone who wants precision and control in their fishing rod, the choice is clear. Kistler fishing rods deliver what you need and can help you bring in bigger and better fish than you have been able to catch before.
