Light n' Fast

The rod we've all been waiting for is finally back and better than ever. Once again after 15 years, we are re-introducing Kistler's lightest power and fastest action rods ever offered.
If you want to casting finesse baits with ease....if you want to feel the fish inhale the bait...if you need to downsize due to heavy fishing pressure, just to get a bite, then go for it while using the perfect finesse special rod by Kistler.
Plenty of backbone to handle huge fish....soft enough tip action to cast and feel light lures, fight that trophy fish without worrying about breaking off.
Every angler around the world needs one or two of these specialty rods if they are ever going to outsmart the largest, oldest, wisest fish in the world.
Some might call this a BFS "Bait Finesse Special" rod and they may be correct in some sense but the Kistler Light n' Fast is so much more than just a finesse rod. Here are some of the different fish species we recommend chasing with this rod. Bass, Crappie, Rainbow Trout, Speckled Sea Trout, Walleye and any other hard to catch fish you can dream of catching. Have fun and feel the bite!

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

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.

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.

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.
