KISTLER Helium 7'10" MAD Fishing Rod
The KISTLER Helium 7'10" MAD Fishing Rod is a returning model in Kistler's Helium lineup, previously well regarded among anglers who owned the original version. It's built with a moderate action and pronounced bend, paired with the lightweight balance of the Helium platform, in a casting-only configuration.
The blank is KISTLER's KCTX 100% Korean high modulus carbon, paired with Fuji corrosion control stainless guides using semi-conventional size Alconite rings and a Fuji graphite exposed trigger reel seat. The handle is Grade "A" cork in a tapered design, measuring 11" from the bottom of the reel seat to the butt cap, with EVA foam at the top of the reel seat for comfort. The rod averages 3.5 oz.
The Helium MAD comes in a single configuration: a 7'10" Heavy casting model rated for 17-25 lb mono or fluorocarbon and 1-2 oz lures. It's built to work crankbaits and glidebaits at that lure weight and to punch through thick grass cover on bass.
