Kistler Helium Spinning Fishing Rod 7’0” 1 ML Medium-Light

Kistler Helium Spinning Fishing Rod 7’0” 1 ML Medium-Light Lighter than air. We stripped weight to increase sensitivity. Average only 3.5 ounce! It's what gives the Helium its name. Our flagship rod at its core doesn't just "get the job done," but makes every cast and hook set feel effortless. When your mettle is tested and you're competing for #1, the Helium gives you all you want and need in a fishing rod: lighter than air responsiveness that gives you every advantage over the next best fisherman. Built on KISTLER KC9 Extremely High Modulus Blanks - 100% Japanese Carbon by Toray. A dental surgeon requires a fine instrument to do his delicate work, the Helium blank is a fine instrument, meant for the most delicate of bites. A surgeon does not use his fine instrument to chisel, hammer or pull teeth, he uses a different tool for that. Metallic blue on navy blue thread colors. Bold in its simplicity, our most popular rod to-date makes the Helium a stunning example of how peak performance and beautiful design really does define the way fishing should feel. LIGHTER THAN AIR We're talking 3.5 oz light. It’s where the Helium rod gets its name. It’s what it feels like fishing with the Helium. Sleek tapered grade a cork handle, corrosion control stainless steel guides, and a fuji reel seat each cut weight and give power and sensitivity to the helium. We hear this all the time: “Light and sensitive... With plenty of backbone.” It’s what you get with Helium.

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.
