About The Custom KLX:

Designing.  Crafting.  Testing.  These are the key principles in our continued pursuit of the perfect fishing rod. This is why Kistler Custom Rods is proud to announce the culmination of over 25 years of experience into one of our most advanced rods ever.  Introducing the next level in the development of the finest hand-built, American made rods on the market… the CUSTOM KLX Rod!

The All-important Blank
For the backbone of finest rods in the world, only a revolutionary graphite blank would do. In order to get the perfect blank, Trey worked closely with “Graphite Guru” Gary Loomis and his team at North Fork Composites to develop a  Next Generation T800 Modulus graphite blank that would become the backbone of the KLX.

The Components
Trey has hand selected the highest quality rod components available at a fair price. The KLX integrates KIGAN guides, Fuji’s most reliable reel seats, and Kistler’s innovative proprietary Smart Fore Grip.  Each KLX rod also features a Hook Hanger component that enables fishermen to conveniently and safely lock a lure to the rod while in storage or transit.  

The Build
Trey and his team passionately pursue perfection by hand-building  quality, ingenuity, craftsmanship, and American pride into each and every KLX at their factory in Magnolia, Texas. Each rod blank undergoes rigorous stress testing and thorough inspections, and not a single finished KLX leaves production and testing without Trey’s personal approval.   

Since each rod is painstakingly hand-built by Trey and his team, production of the Custom  KLX rod is limited, so make sure to get your hands on one of the finest fishing rods available anywhere. Experience for yourself why… “Fishing Never Felt So Good!”

Your Custom KLX rod will be quality certified by thorough testing and hand inspection by Trey Kistler himself, right here in Magnolia, Texas, USA. His multi-step testing certifies that your KLX rod is FISH READY before it leaves our facility. Fishing Never Felt So Good knowing your rod will perform flawlessly from your first Fish On and many more.
