I go to church with a guy that fishes a lot and has a ton of experience. I asked him what he thought about them. His reply was I can't tell you here in the church lol.!! He did say they have great sensitivity but he didn't really recommend them.

Go with these and you'll be glad you did!

I'm about 3 hrs away myself. I hope to get to check it out! I say it will be worth the drive!

How old is the oldest Kistler you have? 27 that's pretty impressive!

Not sure about the best place but you can order direct from their website.

You mind to tell what happened?

Thanks guys for the input. The horror stories kinda worries me somewhat. To own 10 Kistlers they must be doing something right!

I'm looking into purchasing a Kistler KLX rod. For those of you who have a Kistler how's their customer service? Their rods are warranted for 1yr but also have an extended warranty past the 1yr. It does worry me somewhat that they offer only a 1yr warranty. What really draws me to them is that the rods are made in the USA and blanks are NFC. The price seems good but is quality and customer service worth it or should I spend more and buy a rod from another company with a longer warranty? It's not that I abuse my equipment at all. If I'm going to spend my hard earned money I want to know that I'm going to be taken care of if needed and a product of high quality.

I pass the time by buying tackle, watching NFL football, and playing a little PS3.

The new site is awesome! I checked it out today on my phone and the mobile site is easy to navigate! Keep up the great work!

Senkos and Zoom brush hogs. I love these 2 plastic lures. Also pick you up an assortment of bullet sinkers and some Gamakatsu Offset Round Bend Worm Hooks in a 3/0 and 4/0. This will get you started with some plastics!

Casting a jig mainly. This is one reason why I took into consideration a longer rod. Then again I don't want to much rod either.

WRB.. I would love to have a rod dedicated to jig only but at this point I have to work with what I've got. I only have one set up now that is a 7'3" my that I throw pretty much everything on except a jig and c-rig on. I'm about to purchase another rod either 7'3" or 7'6" heavy for jigs and c-rig. I guess my thinking is that I need a heavy rod action for a jig and c-rig and one rod could do both. Also I want a rod with more power. I've thrown heavy rods before and I like it with a heavier lure. Maybe I'm way off..??

Copolymer.. I have to say I don't think I've ever heard of that kind of line. You think 17 would work for both? Of course using a smaller leader for c-rig.

I'm looking for line that I could use for both a carolina rig and a 1/2 jig. I was thinking going braid for both for the sensitivity and strength. Something that concerns me is draging a c-rig with braid (mono leader) is fraying the braid with the weight or just the bottom contact. My other thougth is going floro for both maybe about #17?? Any suggestions or comments on what would work best or maybe what you use? For what its worth going with a 7'3" H rod.... possibly a 7'6"

LC Pointer... Yeah they do cost a bit more but imo they are worth it. I purchased one last year and caught more fish on it than I would have expected. I would highly recommend them.

Awesome deal! I really would like a legend tournament rod. I have wanted to try a St. Croix for a while now. Thanks!!

Sweet deal ! Just placed my order!

These guys make some pretty sweet trick shot videos. They are pretty funny and some of their shots are ridiculous!

Myself, I keep it simple I go with just a trailer hook.

Just throwing this out there but maybe that's a good place to flip a jig.. ??

Get some senko senkos. T-rig them weight less or with a weight also wacky rig them. Wacky rigging a senko is simple but very effective. I caught my largest bass throwing a 5" watermelon with black flake wacky rigged. Watch out for the elusive bait monkey. If he gets you you've had it! Good luck and have fun!

Can fish see our line?? Possibly so.. Imo I don't worry too much about it. There are tons of factors that go into catching fish. Bass fishing can be, in some aspects, very complicated especially bass fishing. To me it's challenging and that makes it fun. I try not to over complicate it too much. If fish are smart enough to recognize what our line is they may be too smart for me and I may need to look for another hobby lol.!!

Never owned costas but I love my Oakley. I have polarized lenses and never fish without them. I would recommend them to anyone.

Go with the zoom brush hog in green pumpkin. You'll be glad you did!
