The best for this application would be the He2MH69S period. fast tip medium power with plenty of Med Heavy backbone. Super light rod with amazing sensitivity. i think there might be one left in stock until the first of April.

You are incorrect. Alton and Scott Martin both prefer MH 7' rods for the average football head jig. I myself believe you want a good fast tip for better feel and hook ups. Try it and let me know what you think. A stiffer rod will lose the feel and you'll not catch as many fish period.

yes, they were discontinued but will still be backed up with our warranty however you will have to decide on downgrading to a Mg or upgrading to a HeLTA if a claim is made.

No, the LTA is stronger and stiffer in the 2009.

They are made in China

Some say they performed as good as or better than the 2009 LTA. Some still say LTA all the way.

That is one fine rod indeed. I would recommend watching the 2010 Bassmaster Classic again and see how KVD and Ike handled their fish on cranks and traps. This ought to explain it very well. IMO, you don't want to hit the fish quick and hard like you would when fishing a worm or jig...just the opposite. You'll find more bass making it to your net if handled with patience but very sharp hooks are a must!

I've got my new AFCB69C. It's so light it is hard to believe that it is rated to 3/4 oz We'll see It feels fantastic with a Chronarch 51Mg.

Anyhow, since this is my first dedicated crankbait rod, I probably need to lose some of my poor hooksetting habits. What hooksetting techiques do you recommend for smaller and shallow crankbaits. I may also try it for topwaters and smaller jerkbaits. Thanks

First, are the Argon rods not available anymore, discontinued? If I did buy one will it still carry the limitred lifetime warranty?

I am looking at these 2 models:

AFSB67C 6'7" MH and the 6'9" MH AFW69C. Are either or one of the rods a bit stiffer than the 2009 Helium LTA 6'9" MH?

Also where are these rods made?

How much of a difference in feel, action and performance to the 2009 Helium LTA line in same length?

I bought this rod last year and I am not sure for the intended use. It is suppose to be the football jig baitcast rod but the tip feels a bit soft for a MH rod. It to me feel like a good rod for Senkos or crankbaits or topwater than a football jig rod.

Can I please get a better idea for the intended purpose of this rod, I really believe it's not a football rod that Alton Jones would use...just not stiff enough.

I need info about this rod. I had the 6'9" MH 2009 LTA & thought that rod was just too whippy for my liking. The lure rating was 1/8-3/4 oz.

The 6'9" H LTA is rated at 3/8-1 oz lure weight. Will this rod be a bit stiffer than the 6'9" MH LTA? If so what are the uses for the 6'9" H LTA?

Where are these rods made?

And are the guides Fuji SiC guides or zirconium?

Any chance you can put the specs for the 2009 LTA baitcast and spinng rods, please?

Man, I have been itching to get one of these new micro magnesium rods.

I went to buy one today, the 7 ft medium caster. Out of stock! I think its great Kistler has sold all they had and are waiting on more to sell, but man that hurt. Cut me deep. Nothing like getting all worked up about ordering your new rod and then.........

I did a frantic search on the net to see if any online retailers had them available. didnt find any.

Thats ok. I will just have to curb my enthusiasm for a bit until the stock arrives.

There is a little light in the tunnel. I still get to order the new reel to go on my future rod. So, I am not totally bummed.
