Kistlers rods
 
I bought a 6"9 rod from kistler fish with one time set the hook on a fish and it broke in the middle of the rod. I used the rod one time and it broke called kistler they said that they would replace it for 70 bucks . What kind of warranty is that .

Those are some nice high dollar rods...I used one with helium filled in the blank...extreme light...but to rich for my taste

thats no warranty at all they're selling another rod to you at wholesale price instead of retail. Obviously there was some defect in the rod if this is a true story, Rod warrantys are a joke, shimano has a no questions asked, in store, swap for a new rod warranty on some of there high end rods, and Falcon has has replaced some caras at no cost for some guys that I fish with. I know St. croix has given me the same "deal" instead of a warranty for my rod breaking. I've read the run around with castaway too!

i had one and broke it on 2nd trip with it and called for repair and they told me to send them 70 bucks, i ll go back to shimano.

You forgot to add shipping to and from the factory.
Might as well chunk it and buy a good one.

I had the same issue with All Star Rods. Except it was $50 instead of $70.

Shimano is all i fish with for 2 reasons. I love the way they perform and the warranty

What part of I used one you don't understand??? Never said I bought one, had one,,,said I used one.... So only way I can use one would be for someone else to have it??? Right??? Try again

PUREBAY2200 03-23-2011 11:09 AM

Ur missin the point.... I don't know *** u are arguing on that last post.... Lol
My point was that u made a completely redicilous comment about a rod. Regardless of if Ur friend told u or not..... It's absurd to actually believe that helium.... A gas that floats objects would b used inside of a rod..... Lmao!!!!
That fact that u believed that enough to post it on here just Cracks me up.
