I use Kistler Rods exclusively. I have several All Purpose Rods, as well as many of their specialty products. I will give you fair warning, once you own one you will want more.
I highly recommend the product.

I have several of them, and have never had any problems. They are great rods, made by great people. Since I started using them I can feel bites, I know I could not feel on other brand rods I used to use.Be nice of you guys to try and support a Texas company.

Do you think every car that is sold new is problem free? Do you go to the doctor and get cured every time? Every company out there has problems now and then with products.I have bought reels, lines, rods,boats, etc that have had problems when they were new. If the reel moves around on the reel seat call them and tell them what the deal is. Also for your information there are reel seat shims for that rod for particular reels. What did you do with the broken LTA?

What did you do with the broken LTA? I took the eyes of it, and taped a nail to the end and used it for picking up trash at a volunteer park clean up. I had the lightest trash poker there. As far as the reel seat is concered, I posted this problem on the Kistler website about a year and half ago and no one said anything about any shims. The rod is a He66MHC and the reel thats on it is a Curado SF.

I have 5 LTA's, 4 LTX II's, and 4 Mag. All are great. I do prefer the LTX 1st, Mag. 2nd, and LTA's 3rd. All rods will break if handled wrong, by accident or neglect, accidental or not, but you can't blame the rod companies for that. If I bashed every rod company who's rod I broke and didn't buy from them again I would have to use a pool stick and nylon string. I will go on record and say that most of the rods I have broken are my fault. Maybe it's because I drive a GMC truck.....Why can't we all just get along?

3 LTA's, 1 Crankin Rod. Very satisfied with my Kistler rods and the company. I like when an owner will openly give his testimony to the Lord on his company website.
