The Kistler Difference

Why Fish Kistler?

Call us and talk to a real person ready to help: Reuben or Jordan or Trey Kistler himself. Customer service is our priority so you can have your best day on the water.
The hallmark of a Kistler. There's nothing more important in fishing than FEELING what's under the water. That's why we say Kistler is "The way fishing should feel."
Every rod from the KLX to Nitranium is individually stress tested and built by hand at our factory in Magnolia, TX.
Over 25 years in business, Kistler is a team of fishing experts who listen to anglers, and make fishing products beyond expectations.
Every rod is built on its natural spline. Every thread wrapped to perfection. Every guide straightened by hand.

Building fishing rods in the USA since 1999.

Born in a Texas Garage

Faith: Our faith in God influences all that we do, as a business and as individuals. 

Family: The family that raised us taught us how to fish; how to work hard and follow our own path.

Excellence: Maybe it’s just how we were raised or how we are wired. But whatever we make, whatever we do, we want it to be the best.

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

Getting your rod to your door in one piece - quickly and securely is our priority. That's why we ship every rod in a thick cardboard tube, securely wrapped in bubble wrap primarily using UPS Ground which reaches most U.S. locations in 1-4 days.

Hold Something Special. We design and source the best materials with the very best blank manufacturers around the world.

KISTLER carbon consists of our proprietary carbon patterns using 100% carbon fiber for maximum sensitivity and strength.

That's why we maintain a 5-star customer rating, with a 99.5% flawless performance of our fishing rods, as well as a "Bend Strong" warranty, should something ever happen.

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.

FAQ

Which product line is the BETA 1 original fluorocarbon?

Guten Tag is our premium fluorocarbon line, and Ringen is the BETA 2 fluorocarbon line.

When will we have 300, 600, and 1000-yard spools available?

Our plan is to see how the demand is for our 200-yard spools, and then we could possibly offer those larger spools in January.

What is the difference between the two fluorocarbon lines?

Guten Tag is designed for a hassle-free 'good day' of fishing, whereas the Ringen is designed to 'wrestle' big fish away from cover. You can read about the different features on the website.

Which knots do you recommend?

We recommend searching YouTube and learning how to correctly tie the Palomar and Triline Knots. This is the most critical connection between you and your next personal best trophy fish. Tied incorrectly could cost you heartaches and us bad reviews ;)
