Bandersnatch Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Before Kistler adjusted their blank there were like a hundred reviews on this rod. I have one and am trying to find what others really used it for but now the reviews are for his new blank. I am wondering for those who have it, what do you love to throw on it? I have it paired with an aldebaran mgl so it feels like an ultra weight combo but I know the blank has a decent backbone. Quote
LonnieP Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 I use mine mostly for 1/4 and 3/8 ounce jigs. Also have used it a few times with 1/8 and 3/16 texas rigs and it worked well. I love mine, very light and sensitive. I have a Chronarch mgl on mine. 1 Quote
Westcoast Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 I have it and it’s a great rod for bottom contact but lately it’s been my chatterbait rod and it works excellent for that. It’s a rod that surprised me with how sensitive it was. 1 Quote

Super User NorthernBasser Posted March 26, 2020 Super User Posted March 26, 2020 I have the 7'1" Helium (med-heavy/x fast) that I bought last year. I use it for Texas rigged plastics. Great sensitivity! 1 Quote
