Kistler difference. The employees at the shop are world class. The customer service is upfront and personable. And, the products are build with the American difference. Kistler Rods, I found are strong, balanced, and set hooks on BIG fish.
Currently, I am enjoying the Kistler HELIUM rod. I can't wait to purchase a new Kistler medium action rod.

These products are like nothing you have ever used before! The Argon Series Rod has to be one of the lightest, most sensitive rod I have ever owned. They are not kidding with their Professional Sensitivity. Its crazy knowing now what I have been missing in a rod like the Argon Series Rods. They are a must buy if you are looking to elevate your fishing performance. Love the fact they are Veteran owned also.

I have been using Kistler Rods for three years now. I can tell you their customer service is second to none. I can tell you that when I place an order, it does not take long at all before I receive my new Rod, reel, or apparel. Trey Kistler runs an incredible business that others could learn a lot from. When you’re with Kistler, you are part of a family.
