anybody own one of these?? they look sick.  curious about those american tackle guides tho. are they as nice quality as fuji?

i have a ts magnesium i bought last year and it's one of my favorite rods....6-10 mh , but has more of a med feel as far as casting goes - and very light...also have a carbon steel 6-10 mh and is pretty close to the same thing - don't know about about the magnesium 2 , but i give kistler nothing but high praise. the guides are just fine

I have a Magnesium from last year, and I think it's a great rod for the money.  I couldn't resist the sale price from TW.  I have the 6'9" MHF "All Purpose Special" and it's hard to tell it apart from my more expensive KLX of similar specs.  Mine has the conventional guides, not the new Microwaves.

Tight lines,

Bob

Don't know about the mag 2's but man the z bones are bad to the bone lol. My buddy just got a ride w Kistler and sold me 3 NRX rods the 895 893 853 and a GLX 802 for 1k. They were fished 3 or 4 times, thanks Kistler lol. But seriously after I finish my NRX collection I'm gonna have him pick me up some Z bones, I think they are incredible and he says there customer service is excellent also.
