Experience is the cornerstone of a truly exceptional product and business. Over the past three decades, I have poured my heart and soul into crafting top-tier fishing rods that consistently surpass consumer expectations. My family and I have dedicated ourselves entirely to the Kistler Rods brand, its name, products, and legacy. As the founder, owner, and president, I bring a level of hands-on experience that is unmatched in the industry. Our passion for helping anglers achieve their fishing goals drives our manufacturing and supply decisions, setting us apart from other rod companies.
I thoroughly test each and every rod blank before it is crafted into a full-fledge fishing-catching tool! This means each fishing rod blank has undergone significant stress tests before a rod is produced. You can view me testing blanks on the Kistler History Video series found on our website - it's an amazing process and 99% of the time, I weed out flaws in a blank's construction, if any, before a customer is ever sold a rod. Once I finalize blank durability testing, I personally oversee every single detail of production - along with hiring and training each and every single Kistler Rods employee. Our exceptional rod builders' individual and collective dedication to consistently producing the industry's best fishing rods is a reflection of my high standards. That's why I can put my own family name right on each rod to prove that I am proud of our product and to be able to extend a competitive fishing rod warranty; however, it's unlikely you will ever need to use our warranty in relation to a manufacturer defect.
I want to earn your business, loyalty, and trust. Customer satisfaction is paramount to the industry, not profit. From my family, pro staff, rod builders, and team members, we cannot thank you enough for your business. Your support means the world to us, and we are truly grateful for your trust in our products. I truly appreciate you taking the time to visit our website and many social media accounts - all of which will give you an in-depth look at our unique fishing rods in action. Suppose you've never tried a Kistler Rod before today. In that case, I invite you to change your fishing forever and see how The Kistler Experience will improve your fishing success. Kistler Rods welcomes you to our growing family of dedicated fishermen. Thank you, Trey Kistler
