TackleTour Fishing Rod Review
Kistler Custom Rods has been busy over the last few years revamping their lineup and doing what they can to bring all their rod building back home to their factory in Magnolia, Texas. From the Z-Bone line to Helium 3 and KLX, the manufacturer now offers a wide range of sticks with Made in the USA pedigrees. One of their more popular series in recent years has been Magnesium. Of course, this series was originally built overseas, well no longer. Introducing our first look at Kistler's Magnesium 2 series with the MG2LMH70-MF, a Search for One, made in the USA candidate for only $189.99.
Total Score: 8.03 - GREAT
Introduction:
Quality/Construction: Kistler's MG2LMH70-MF is a seven foot (7'-0") stick built on a blank rolled in Woodland, Washington by North Fork Composites. The rod's split rear grip is made of a new-ish material in the fishing industry, a golf grip. All joint lines, epoxy edges, alignments, etc., are clean on our test model. It's one thing to tout a domestically made product, but it's another to deliver one that is worthy of the pedigree.
