Kistler rods are made in Texas, USA by Trey Klister who revamped his father business (President and Founder of Castaway Rods) in 1999.

Their Kistler Micro Magnesium Spinning Rod are something very innovative they are proud of. The manufacturing process has been re-engineered for a improved fishing experience.

“Fishing Never Felt So Good”. And indeed I have also read nice words on these rods from bass fishing anglers.:

"..These rods will change your fishing."

"These new z bones are just unreal, I was feeling bites with the wind whipping my rod and I was lucky enough not to have lost a fish. Not only was I feeling every bite that I got but I was doing something that I shouldn't have been doing, I was flipping 5 pounders over the side of the boat, now you couldn't do that with any other kind of rod I bet. "

"After 70 years on this earth, most of which I have spent my free time fishing, seldom have I found anything or any product that would move me to write a testimonial."

on the low side, a complain for the service (duely reported though)

"I purchased fifteen kistler rods Helium 11 xlt three years ago.The cost was over $4,000.00 Dollars. I broke a rod called for replacement they sent wrong rod.And they charged me for sending the wrong rod.I sent the rod back at my expense. Don't expect good warranty service"

Moreover they provide a nice service where you can actually build your own fly rod!

Plus a forum!
