The "Forward-Facing Sonar" Fishing Rod
SONAR ROD
After designing the Kistler Jerk Bait Rod, we put it through a gauntlet of tests, confirming again and again that it was more capable of drawing the attention of fish than jerk bait rods made by other brands.
We watched – in real time – as trophy-size bass and other species were enticed and triggered
to bite more often based on a few distinct design factors and characteristics.
Two of the major aspects of the perfect jerk bait rod are a shorter rod length and a shorter handle, which allows for more control over the lure’s movement and speed.
The Lite-Medium-Heavy style rod is the ideal combination for casting any jerkbait, no matter its size or weight.
Our Jerk Bait Rod is specially designed so that when you see a fish on the screen, you can cast directly into the area near it that you choose and hone your retrieval of the lure to draw the fish’s attention and get a strike.
The rods are made with Extreme High Modulus KISTLER KC9 100% Japanese Carbon by Toray, which provides incredible sensitivity so anglers can detect the tiny pecks and nibbles that indicate a bigger strike is about to take place.

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.
