Bass-a-Thon 2009
Coverage Part 2 – A look at some upcoming new rods
(continued)
Kistler:
Professional Angler Scott Martin was at the show and in his hand was a
Kistler Z-Bone prototype which he has been field testing for Kistler for some
time. The rod had a more matte black appearance than the rod Trey showed us
previously. Which color properly represents the final product that will become
available still remains to be seen but were guessing that the version Scott
showed us was one of the earlier prototypes.
Scott explained to us what
he liked about the rod and high up on his list was the use of micro guides which
not only made the rod lighter and more sensitivity but also improved durability
as well, something which was of prime importance to Scott as he also guides in
Florida.

While the Z-Bone is not
yet shipping anticipation continues to build for this premium rod. The Z-Bone is
all about customization and anglers will be able to basically order a rod built
to their own exacting specifications down to the component level.
