How did I lose that fish? Have you ever wondered how that big one got away even when you did everything right? The right gear, the right bait, perfect technique...

Kistler is tackling this increasingly common issue for anglers. Innovations such as ultra rigid graphite rods, zero-stretch lines, high-speed reels, and surgically sharpened hooks provide great advantages. The problem arises when these technologies are combined, often leading to torquing the hook out of the fish’s mouth, premature hook sets and lost fish. Sometimes you only get one shot at a true trophy...

Kistler has the answer, introducing S2 Hybrid Blank Technology. Developed with North Fork Composites, the antonymous S2 material is central to the creation of our new 50/50 fishing rod blank. Blending the S2 hybrid material with T800 high modulus graphite yields a blank that offers the benefits of graphite and the advantages of fiberglass in a first-in-industry rod that will catch more fish.
