set_the_hook Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 looking on getting a new finese rod. im looking at a kistler mg series 6'9ml xf. does anyone have one of these? or can someone suggest something else? im looking for different opinions. thanks sth Quote
bassripper2000 Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I hear those are nice rods. I do not like the non fuji guides on them. Matter of fact, I don't really know what kind of guides are on them but they are probably good. I can recommend the Shimano Crucial DS in a ML It is very light and sensitive. I really think this one is a winner. I am very happy with it. Luck.... ST. Croix Avid is another good one in that price range. Quote

Bassyak Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 I just got a Crucial 7'2" Dropshot ML to pair with a Saros 2500 as a dropshot/shakyhead combo and I love it so far. Very light and sensitive tip. Very impressed so far. Haven't caught any fish with it yet, but hopefully that'll come soon. Quote
Pigsticker Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 i have that exact rod and it does the job, mainly throw light wacky rigs, shakey heads and light jig head w/grub. has a alot of play in the tip which is nice for casting. Has a nice backbone to it, but sometimes i wish it had more, it is a good rod if you get it on sale but i would recomend a carrot stick not only for price but quality Quote
bronzeback01 Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 I have the kistler magnesium all purpose med 6'6" spinning rod and it's a really nice rod , all the new magnesium rods are all fuji components i made sure i asked them before i orderd it . if you buy one do yourself a favor and put a nice lite reel on it. PS my best finesse rod is my g loomis bronzeback smr 811 sp http://products.gloomis.com/gl/products/alltackle/detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441760513&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302032504&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181201&bmUID=1211079162497 Quote
