Not sure if this is appropriate but I got this and thought i would pass it on.

rods

it is not my company. i am just passing along a discount email i got from the company. i am not advertising for anyone. i thought spamming was promoting my own personal company. i am not in the tackle business, just an average fisherman. thought you guys might want a bargain on a decent rod.

 

[Wandy]

Sure.

After the first sentence saying i am passing it on the remainder is in quotes from the second sentence until the end. i stated nothing except that i received the email and i am passing it on. sorry it was not clear enough.

 

[Lpbassman]

My error Wandy!

 

[Wandy]

clarify

hi guys,

sorry if anyone was confused. i am not in the tackle business. just forwarding an email i recieved from the company. i would do it with an discount on tackle i would receive. i think all of us would want to save a buck when we can unless it is a senko.

 

[MarkNJBass]

With that discount....

Their rods should be down to around $150-$200...I've been on their site before and thought they were a bit expensive.

 

[MarkNJBass]

I take that back!

I just checked out the site and there are a few good deals there. I may just have to buy myself an early Xmas present...thanks alot for letting me know about that sale!!! Like I need more temptation to buy rods/reels/tackle in the offseason...hehe.

 

[Wandy]

what are you going to buy?

Just curious. what are you going to get?

I was looking at the 6ft spinner bait pitching stick. I like the short rods for the reservoir boats. don't really need anything though. what i need to do is unload some stuff. now that would be novel.

 

[MarkNJBass]

Maybe a new flippinf stick

Some of their jig/worm rods look good...I may try one for next season. We'll see...they have a few nice looking rods there. Hmm, let me go check it out again...you're terrible Wandy...you won't be happy till I order one tonight...hehe....later...Mark

gotta feel good

a friend calls money a person spends on himself 'love money'. what better thing to do than buy a new rod? the nets, giants and jets lost. how else is the winter going to feel good with this, eh? wink, wink. allow us to live vicariously.

 

[Wandy]

did you get one?

Mark,

did you buy a rod? i almost bought one until i walked into my local store and saw a rod with the initial GL on it and going to get a sweet deal. it is a short rod, 5'6, but i like the short rods especially for the reservoir boats for side arm/underarm casting plus i aint a big guy so the smaller rods just fit me better. I guess if i had a motorized bass boat i would go longer but i would probably have the handles cut shorter for me.

Wandy -- FYI: The Kistler Helium comes with a much shorter handle than most rods on the market.

nice rods but not on sale

i want one but not cheap. i am getting a loomis gl3 5'6, med wt, fast action for cheap. i like this size a lot. Distance is not so great but never a problem with sf reels and i often go for tight cover anyway. i am not tall and cast from the back of a jon boat often.

 

[Jighead61]

Yes, Kistler Helium is expensive but all premium rods are.....

Have you looked at the 6' Spinner Bait Pitchin' Stick ?
It's on sale for $89.99 and has a 7" handle (10" is common).

Also, you might be interested to know that Kistler will custom build a rod to your spec for an additional $20.00 over the cost of the rod.....I confirmed this with Trey Kistler in a recent conversation.

Good rods

I don't own one, but they sure are sweet!

 

[Wandy]

i own a custom kistler rod

I know he will make rods to spec and was considering the spinnerbait special until i came upon the loomis rod for cheap. I think i will also get a lefty castaic sf at the same time and have a nice setup.

 

[Wandy]

i could help myself

I broke down and got the 6' spinnerbait rod. I could not help myself. I own 2 kistler rods and they are great so I know this one will rock. No worries. May still get the gl3 since it was a bargain. now i am going to get a castaic sf to match it. spring or the first thaw cannot come quick enough.
