Two Kistler Pro-Staff anglers are on their way to the Bassmaster's Classic in February 2008 on Lake Hartwell. Both Steve Kennedy and Alton Jones will fish on this South Carolina lake that should have multiple patterns to fish that time of year. Make sure to cheer them on if you plan on attending the Classic.
Frank Ippoliti won the Bassmaster Southern Open on Wheeler Lake in Alabama. Frank said that he stroked a jig with a Kistler Jig and Toad Rod and threw a rattletrap to secure his win. Frank said this in a Bass Fan interview:
"It was definitely the combination of the rod and reel. The rod was a perfect balance. If the tip was too soft, I wouldn't have been able to get the hook in the fish. And the reel allowed me to pick up the slack line real quickly. I had a lot of confidence with that rod and reel in my hand. It was a big key to my success."
