Team Social Media Contest

Team Kistler Social Video Contest Get Famous & Win Cash!

Hey Team! Ready to show off your skills and win some cash? We’re kicking off a brand-new monthly contest designed just for Kistler Rods Team members. Each month, we’ll be awarding a CASH PRIZE to the most impactful Team social media video post!

It’s all about showcasing your creativity on and off the water—whether that means a beast mode montage, epic hookset slow-mos, crazy gear hauls, a heart-warming tale, a hilarious skit and of course, showing your Kistler gear in action. There’s no “right” style—the more authentic, unique, and engaging your video is, the better your shot at reeling in the win. So grab your camera and start creating.

The winning video will be chosen based on a mix of creativity, quality, and engagement (likes, comments, shares), so be sure to bring your A-game and promote your post to the world. We can’t wait to see what you come up with—let’s make waves and show the world what fishing the Kistler way is all about! #FishKistler
