Josh,
that Jig N Toad rod is a great rod. I have a couple of them. Glad you like it. I have used it for various applications and haven't found one yet that doesn't work. you can't go wrong with the MG's. as far as some suggestions for others..well it depends on what you want to do with them. the MG's come application specific and they are all great. Good luck!!!

I decided to go with the Jig and Toad. I have fished with it a few times and love the feel. The sensitivity is very good, rod is very light and responsive. I think I will buy a few more MGs. Any suggestions on which ones to add to the rods I have?

WOW, I can't begin to tell you still how impressed I am with the LTX line of rods!! Over the past 2 weeks, my tournament partner (Shawn Campbell) and I have fished several big tournaments (~250 boats) here on a local lake. The water has been inbetween 10 and 15 feet high and there is flooded brush everywhere. We have been on a good pattern fishing flat nasty stuff in the backs of coves. We have caught fish behind people in brush and trees that they wouldn't dare pitch into. We will come right behind them and catch fish. Not only does that boost your confidence in fishing, but man is it a blast!!! All weekend long we would flip into a tree and say, "if I get bit, I don't know how I'm gonna get her out!", most times we would find a way to get her in the boat.

If anyone doesn't currently have a LTX rigged up with some braid, I would highly recommend it!! I have been using 65lb power pro and love it.

Take care all,

Thomas Wells

Looks like you have recieved some great advice.

Here is how I am set up

Jig rod- He2HC70, great rod, like it for throwing big football jigs in the summer

Spinnerbait rod- MgCBCGGM66, love the tip on this rod!! last week I hauled in a 7+ pound fish on a 3/8 oz blade!!

Crankbait rod- MfCBCGGM70, same as my "spinnerbait" rod, just the 7 footer.

I don't have a dropshot rod, but it looks like others are giving you good advice!

Please let me know if you have any more questions!!

Greg,
I thought long and hard about whether to get the He711THC, or the He2HC711T with the main purpose of flipping and C-rigs. Decided on the He2HC711T, and used it for the first time this weekend. Caught fish using a C-rig; was extremely impressed with the sensitivity and overall feel of this rod.

I use the LTA series most of the time, and you can't go wrong with any them, but if you want the "best of the best" try the He2HC711T. Either way, the additional length is the way to go for flipping and "rigs;" the fish was in the boat in no time!

God Bless,
Scott Burns

I have been using this rod for the last three years for C rigs and for flipping plastics. It's a great rod and the balance and sensitivity of the rod is outstanding, plus you have a rod that works for flipping and Carolina rigs.

Last month I fished a BFL tourney on the Red River and well it turned into an adventure from the start. First of all they call it the Red River for a reason...the water is always stained, but with all the rain there had been the river was high...high current..trolling motor was a useless tool if you were in the current. to sum up the description of the river...it should have been named the Mud River. While i was prefishing i finally found a place i could throw a frog around a little. about the third cast there was some movement in the floating weeds...i threw back out there and WHAM...big blow up. I set the hook hard and the fight was on...this guy was fighting and buried it's self in some more weeds...i yanked it out of there with my Kistler Jig N' Toad Special rod. I finally got it to the boat and this is what it was
I now call that rod the Gator Tamer..the same rod did grab me Big Bass for the event the next day. So thank you Kistler for making a rod that i can land anything with!!

No, this is one of the rods that is always with me. Shame they discontinued it. Pretty much fell into a sweet spot for me and river smallmouth fishing. So now there are two. Wish I could get a pair of plain blanks or knew which were used so I could build another pair with short handles for in the kayak.

No problem, but please don't get me wrong, the 69APC is a very good rod, the one time I had a chance to try it out.

I wasn't aware of a new version of the 6'9" LTA & bought the APC. I'll be using it more once the weather get better.
