Wow! Your feedback was overwhelming on the MICRO guide concept after last month's newsletter! Well, I'll do my best to keep you excited until we have the stock Magnesium models ready to ship in December. In the meantime, I thought I would offer you a special deal for October because I know many folks are dying to get their hands on the Micro guides. If you haven't already read about the Micros, then you'll be seeing a lot of press on them coming up soon from all different product review sources.
If you are wondering how special these tiny little guides are and how they can improve your game, then wait no longer. First take a look at the
Updated September newsletter. If you can't wait until next year or if the purchasing of an entirely new rod is out of the budget, then take a look at how we can save you some money today.
MICRO GUIDE UPGRADE OPPORTUNITY:
LIMITED TIME OFFER!
Kistler Rods will replace your old conventional guides with
brand new MICRO guides on your current rod and make it better than new again!
Yep, we can do that for you in just a few weeks and put you back on the water
with more confidence than ever before. I have already made the switch to all
Micros myself because they are simply better performing and a pleasure to fish
with.
Just this past weekend, I was testing the Z bone rods with Micro guides and as I tried to purposely wrap and tangle the line around the guides, I was unable to create a problem as the line just slid right over the guides and I kept on fishing. Awesome! Especially when you have a bite, set the hook and find that you can't reel because the line is wrapped around your conventional guide and the fish gets off! These Falcon Lake bass didn't get off when we had a four hooked up in less than 30 seconds!

Take advantage of this offer before it's too late and we
begin our busy season of selling and building custom rods. This offer will not
last forever and might be discontinued sooner than we expect due to high demand
and limited labor force.
I bet you are thinking this is going to cost an arm
and a leg? Nope! We'll do it for a nominal fee as a service to you because we
really want you to have the cutting edge technology when fishing and we want
the innovation to be from Kistler Rods. Below is the breakdown on how to
calculate the cost if you are interested in improving your game.
- Ex1. You have one rod you want to
rewrap with Micro guides:
1 rod x $50 + $20 s/h = Total $70 - Ex2. You have two rods you want to
rewrap with Micro guides:
2 rods x $50 + $20 s/h = Total $120

How to Upgrade Your Guides

- Put the funds and note in an envelope and tape them to your rod.

REPLACEMENT GUIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR HELIUM LTA ROD OWNERS
After much research and
surveys done over the last year, we have found the blue ringed guides used on
some 2008 and earlier Helium LTA rods
are not performing to a high enough standard, so I would like to make you guys an
offer you can't refuse. We would like to pull these guides off of your rods in
order to outfit you with a product that performs up to our high standards. I came to this conclusion after reading
a passage in the bible I'd like to share.
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." - Phillipians 2:3-4 I believe if we do 'what is right' in God's eyes, he will bless us. I trust you will agree.
Kistler Rods would like to stand behind the components used on our blanks even though the previous guide manufacturer used has refused to accept responsibility for defective products. It was my mistake for trying to be different in the industry while supporting a US based company and remaining loyal instead of sticking with the best in the business, FUJI.
If you have a 2008 year model or earlier Helium LTA rod with the blue inserts that have fallen out of the frame, you are in luck. I will be happy to replace ALL your guides and tip, no matter how old or well used your rod might be if you will help us cover a nominal cost due to the extensive labor involved. After my rod technicians carefully strip away the old wraps/epoxy/guides, they will then rewrap your rod with a brand new set of FUJI ALCONITE conventional guides. If you just want us to fix one or two guides, we will be happy to replace these for free as a service to you. We'll have your rod performing better than ever and shipped back out to you in 4-8 weeks. Please let us know your requested date for return and we will do our best to get your rods back asap. Below is the breakdown on how to calculate the cost if you are interested taking advantage of this offer.
- Ex1. You have one rod that needs guides replaced:
1 x $25 = $25 + $20 return shipping = Total $45 - Ex2. You have two rods that need guides replaced:
2 x $25 = $50 + $20 return shipping = Total $70
How to Replace Your Guides
- Gather your rod(s) for shipping in a disposable container
- Gather together a check or money order for the amount needed (see above) and a note explaining your preferences.
- Put the funds and note in an envelope and tape them to your rod(s).
- Ship and insure the rod(s), with the envelope containing funds and note, in your disposable container to:
Kistler Custom Fishing Rods
30603 Beyette Rd
Magnolia, TX 77355
Offer expires 12-31-09 or discontinued at our discretion.
Get your rods shipped to us as soon as possible and we will begin the process of upgrading so next season, you'll be fishing with more confidence than ever before This replacement offer cannot be combined with the Micro guide upgrade.
Here at Kistler Rods, we take your satisfaction very serious and plan on keeping you as a happy customer both on and off the water for years to come. Please spread the word around the world to your buddies if you think they might jump on this opportunity. Please do not try to contact us via telephone because we already know our phone lines are going to be jammed up helping customers. Feel free to email me if there is something I haven't covered clearly in this newsletter and I'll get back with you as soon as possible.
SNEAK PREVIEW AT THE "BYOR"
Z BONE CUSTOM ROD FEATURE COMING SOON!
Available in December on a custom build your own program. Start building your dream rod in your mind and make it reality before Christmas!

If you want to catch a bunch of big bass down south at Falcon Lake or anywhere in Mexico, contact one of these outfitters that I recommend. If you are not sure, let me tell you it is a safe, fun and exciting trip of a lifetime. Do it now before the fishing gets tough like so many other lakes that get the pressure after so much national exposure. I fished with these three Mexican anglers (they speak good English) and we had a blast! Great authentic food, clean accommodations and friendly service!
Thank you again for your loyalty,
Trey Kistler
