Lizards, that is one reason I haven't picked a Kistler up. My bait monkey would stop a mud hole in me if I did ;D[/quote]

Well Rebasser you aren't gonna get a good review from me on the Kistler's. > I went out yesterday for the first time with them, and was pitching into the weeds/laydowns. Had a fish bust through the mat as I was dragging it to a hole, with the 7' HEAVY rod. I cast back to the new hole he made in the mat, and got bit, set the hook, and the rod snapped in 2 pieces. I still landed the fish, about 15" and really not much weeds with it > Granted I may have had a defective rod, but when you pay that kinda money you don't expect a defective rod. I will be taking the broken one back, along with the 7' MH, and replacing them with a G Loomis or a ST Croix. I've not had this happen with either of those, and as you know I put my stuff through the grinder on fishing. So I won't be buying anymore Kistler's, too bad they have a great feel to them, but I can't accept it snapping in half(broke almost at the midpoint) especially with a Heavy rod, and a 15" bass :P
