I'm writing articles for the romanian (Europe) fishing magasine Fishing Adventure. We are constantly promoting american fishing tackles, especialy rods and lures. I was permanent resident in the USA (almost seven years, in N.Y), a good ocasion for me to discover the american standard in fishing. Even if it's hard to fight here with the european competition (import taxes, so and so), an american rod is always a dream for serious anglers in this country. You will be suprise how many romanian anglers are devoted to american rods. Lamiglas, St. Croix, G.Loomis, All Star and Falcon are common names on the waters. Few of us discovered a new path in this rod industry, a path made by names as Kistler, Wizard, Rogue, Tactical Assault, American Rodsmith and so on.
Let me go back to the point... I have a dozen of G.Loomis rods (IMX and GLX) but i think is time to go ahead to a new rod makers generation. Kistler Helium was for me love at first sight. Usualy i don't buy a rod if i don't touch it, if i don't try it individualy in the store. I need just few minutes to get the balance, the real power and action, the quality of components and to figure if that rod is OK for my fishing aplication.This time i feel that it worth to take the risk, so i will place soon an order for a Kistler Helium rod (aplication : jigging, 1/4-1/2 oz jigs, europen walleye). I'll stay with 1 pc rod, 6'6' (maybe faster than 7' version).
Keep in touch and keep up a good work!
