There's Nothing More Important than FEEL
Sensitivity is the hallmark of a Kistler. That's why we say Kistler is "The Way Fishing Should Feel." We build rods and gear to drastically change the way you fish.
For over twenty-seven years I have invested my blood, sweat and tears into developing elite fishing rods that exceed consumer expectations.

The Kistler Difference.
Kistler Carbon
Hold Something Special
KISTLER has partnered with multiple elite carbon factories across the globe. These well-established carbon experts have exceeded Trey Kistler’s demands for excellence in terms of quality control, consistent actions and power as well as durability.
KISTLER is now providing carbon blanks that we believe are the best in the business, period. For KISTLER and for our customers, it is an evolution into a better technology than ever before.
The proprietary blank construction used by our partnering factory, Composite Forge, out of Dallas, Texas, has enhanced the performance of KISTLER Carbon Blanks, making them noticeably lighter and noticeably more sensitive.
This is an evolution that offers our customers better rod technology, better fishing, and a better warranty – the KISTLER Bend Strong Limited Lifetime Warranty on every rod series. KISTLER has made the choice to make the best rod on the market.
Trey Kistler’s 28 years of experience has enabled KISTLER to provide our customers with the most advanced designs and engineered carbon blanks that will certainly increase the cast to catch ratio for every level angler.
