Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2005 5:46 pm (GMT 0) Topic Replies: 0 Here is my story. About 2 or 3 years ago I was very heavily into competitive fishing. I'm mostly a finesse guy by choice but in tournament, the jig n pig is my bread and butter. As the season was winding down, I started to develope a serious pain in my right elbow. Almost excruciating and it was effecting on the water. I couldn't pitch or flip. I was at one of the last events of the season when it really handcapped me to the point I considered going to the hospital. As luck would have it, I realized that the rod given to me as a gift from my partner had a weight balancing system on the handle. I never thought to check it. Well, I did and was shocked to find 5oz of brass weights loaded in there. This was no doubt the reason for my problem. I got through the season barely and one day while browsing BFHP I someone responded to my offer of a trade for yamamoto baits. He offered a He70MC. I jumped on it and once I got back on the water, I never put the rod down. I honestly believe my switching to and relying on that rod, which is no doubt the lightest, most balanced rod I've ever used to that point, was the key to my resurrgence and end of my elbow problems. I've fished pain free for the better part of 2 seasons and this has helped me in deciding to get the word out about Kistler rods. Speaking with Trey and Clifford has been a pleasure as these two guys are down to Earth and genuinely concerned with their company and the satisfaction of their customers. I'm glad I found you guys.-C _________________ www.micromunchtackle.com Kistler Regional Pro Staff [Kistler Custom Fishing Rods] 6:45:26 PM
