Kistler Rods -

Yes, the composite blank is what I am looking for.  I have one in the 6'6" size and want another.  Although I generally prefer 7' rods, the 6'6" proved to be the perfect size for running crankbaits up and down the bank on the Delaware.

Well, I'll keep an eye out as they do come up occasionally.  It would appear, from the Kistler website, that the only composite, moderate action rod available for '09 will be in a Magnesium rod.  I'm not fond of the split grip, but you do have a couple including that orange OBAMAnation (that's a joke guys, don't start on me) and I think a Kistler Mag, so you know what that would be like.  Available in two lengths 7'-0" and a  6'-6" at list o$189.  Again the only problem is they are only available in Medium.  Link provided:

TACKLE WAREHOUSE has a couple of the Graphite Plus in a composite rod, 7' only but still at list - $139.
They also have the Mag composite in both 7' & 6'-6" at $179.  For $40 I think the Mag is the better buy.

:undecided:  You didn't trust me on my recommendation of Simmons, huh? :rolleyes:  I'm everywhere.  :grin:
