Start building Custom casting rod Custom spinning rodKistler carbon tech
Kistler has developed five carbon platforms that are the backbone of all of our rods. Each one provides a unique balance of strength and feel.
The everyday blank. 24-ton graphite with the forgiveness to fish all day and take boat-deck abuse.
24-ton with an engineered layup — the same toughness, balanced for a lighter rod in the hand.
30-ton laminate. Faster tip recovery and a blank that tracks straight on a long cast.
40-ton, our highest modulus. The lightest, most sensitive rod we build — you feel the bottom change.
A hybrid layup: 24, 30 and 40-ton graphite blended in one blank. Woven for high strength butt to super sensitive tip.
