FAQ

Team questions

Yes. Download the files under Logo downloads in Team resources, and follow the usage rules there.

Log in to your kistlerrods.com team account before you shop. Your discount is tied to that login. Your team prices show on each product page, and in some cases your final team price appears only at checkout.

It's your responsibility to be logged in when you order. If you order without logging in and then ask us to adjust the price, our accounting team will refund the difference, less a 10% fee to cover our bank and merchant costs.

As much as you can. Our favourite team members post great content every week. They represent the brand, buy the rods, wear the apparel and fish our Big Bass tournament.

Usually not. If a promotion gives a bigger discount than your team discount (which is rare), you're welcome to use it. Check out as a guest, or with a login that isn't tied to your team account.

No. Team members get the same warranty as every customer.

Email trey@kistlerrods.com, and take a screenshot if you can. If you see commentary online that reflects poorly on the company, let us know. Don't engage with the person.

Logo downloads

Whenever you use a Kistler logo, digitally or in print, represent the brand well. Using the logos consistently keeps the brand uniform and recognisable.

  • Never use a logo alongside anything abusive or offensive.
  • Don't modify the logos. Don't change the colour or shape, stretch or compress them, or add designs, drop shadows or borders. Don't remove any part of a logo.

Contacting the team office

Include your full name, your team level (Promotional, Field Staff, State, National, MVP, Guide, Professional or Legacy) and a phone number.
