If you know, you know....if you don't, well then read up.....the original MAD was one bad rod in the eyes of hundreds of anglers who where lucky enough to have  their own Helium MAD rod. Well guess what....it's back and it's just as MAD! 

From the big rainbow bend, moderate action, to the light weight, balance. It still has the power to chunk a 2 ounce crankbait or glidebait a mile.... enough backbone to punch thick grass and still pull a giant back into the boat.

You're welcome ;)

KISTLER KC9 100% Japanese Carbon by Toray-Extreme High Modulus

The "Lighter Than Air" Fishing Rod

Helium

A dental surgeon requires a fine instrument to do his delicate work, the Helium is a fine instrument, meant for the most delicate of bites. A surgeon does not use his fine instrument to chisel, hammer or pull teeth, he uses a different tool for that. Metallic blue on navy blue thread colors. Bold in its simplicity, our most popular rod to-date makes the Helium a stunning example of how peak performance and beautiful design really does define the way fishing should feel.

Respect: The world just works better when people treat one another with mutual respect.

Veteran-owned and operated since 1999. Our company was born in a Texas garage. After Trey Kistler returned home from serving in the Gulf War, he went to work with his father building fishing rods. When his dad retired, Trey decided to blaze his own trail. He decided to make an exciting life for himself, his wife and four babies. He decided to create some solid American jobs. And he decided to try and catch as many fish as possible.

So he set himself to the task of making the best bass fishing rod out there. We, and Trey, wouldn’t have it any other way. If his family name is going to be on it, it’s going to be the best. Kistler products are excellent. Period. They are the most sensitive, the most responsive, the most trustworthy. When you hold one of our rods, you know you’re holding something special.
