I ordered a Kistler Chromium baitcaster while they were on sale and I must say that out of the box I am extremely impressed. I got the 100 size and it palms great and is extremely smooth. It does have ceramic spool bearing so there is a little of the distinctive ceramic bearing sound but its not bad at all. I ordered the teal color to put on a Profishiency Krazy rod to specifically throw spinnerbaits on. It's a wild looking combo but it will be a blast to use. 

I own a 100 on my 5’6” pistol grip bladed jig rod and a 200 on a Kistler KLX 4MH and really like both over the Lew’s speed spools.

They are smooth and cast quite far. Excellent price right now!

However, I unfortunately paid full price  Was going to get another 200 but all they have is right handed,,,,which is totally wrong 😃
