New Kistler rod

[flachristopherkeene9]

I received my Kistler He70MC rod in the mail today! Even the packaging was impressive!

The rod came in a protective pvc tube securely sealed at both ends. It was packed securely inside as well with a good foam wrap and the literature.

When I pulled it out, I immediately noticed the excellent balance! I have a Prince O3 Tennis Racket and PING Irons/Calloway Titanium Golf Clubs... The reason I mention this other sports equipment is that the quality of this rod has the same feel as the other high end equipment that I own. I just wish my other toys were as reasonably priced as the Kistler! Bet my wife does too!

I am mating a Curado Bait Caster to it http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/descp...O-SHCU200.html (At the advise of Art Ferguson and Scott Dobson) and plan to go flippin and bait casting this Saturday! B) I have played with it in the driveway with a flipping practice plug and a temporary pflueger reel ..... I just feels good in the hand!!

I am hoping for some hawg photos with it shortyly! GREAT Product Trey Kistler!

A Kistler LTA Helium flipping stick has been moving up my baitmonkey wishlist for about a year now, and its starting to get close to the top. Those rods have a fine balance to them for sure.

Yeah, but Art said he would like to have about 10 of the Shimano Calais he got throw that is matched up with the Rogue rod I have with it. ;D

8)WTL when you are ready to buy that Kistler just give me a shout and I'll give you a good deal on one. I am a local dealer who specializes in tournament selling.

I live in Tomball, TX just north of Houston. Also carry Solar Bat, Penetrater wts, Sweet Beaver softbaits, Tru-Trac and soon to have Wally G. cranks.

Chip, I don't mean to criticize your choice ,but the Curado would not even be considered as my pick for a flipping reel.In my opinion the biggest things against it is they lock up with a big fish on, and they do not free spool smoothly which is a must when flipping.Shimano owners use the Cardiff reels for flipping around my area but I am not going to buy another Shimano reel ever.P N J

Works for me P&J.... I got to the counter, started to buy it, put it back, and went with the Pflueger President....

Guess I am just stuck on them... Trions and Presidents...

Thanks for the advice!

Chip, I am impressed with the President reel. I just got a used Trion in and it casts well,caught some good fish with it this morning, but I got to tear it down and clean it, It is not as smooth as I think it should be. ;D P N J
