The
Kistler
Rod Company has been the staple for Fishdelta.com for many
years. Trey and his staff has developed a unique line of fishing
tools by looking carefully at what makes a rod good and figuring
out how to improve on today’s technology to make them better.
The first thing you'll notice about the Kistler
Rods is the complete absence of a foregrip. Their reasoning
is that a piece of cork, or worse yet a piece of foam, will dampen
any vibration coming up the graphite blank and eliminate the most
subtle vibrations, which are often the most important ones! Now
your fingers will be directly in contact with the blank and the
lightest bite will be felt easily. The absence of a foregrip also
reduces the weight of these rods. Kistler calls this their "Smart
Touch" reel seat. Look closer and you'll notice the exclusive
"Hook Hanger" hook keeper that enables you to attach
your hook without removing it from your soft plastic bait, a very
thoughtful design feature. You'll really like the flanged ring
tip tops that help eliminate the knocked out inserts on the tip
tops that can ruin a day’s fishing. Finally, Kistler is
happy to offer their World Class "NO Hassle" Limited
Lifetime Warranty. All Kistler Rods are proudly made in the USA.

Ten
internal steel balls result in outstanding casting distance and
also rattle and vibrate on the retrieve. Large holographic eyes
and a detailed etched “skin” give the
Rattl’n Vibe™ an incredibly lifelike appearance.
The bait’s perfect balance allows it to be jigged vertically
without planing to either side. The
Rattl’n Vibe™ will dive to a depth of 20 feet
and is very effective worked with a stop-go or steady retrieve.
Jackall
baits are used and endorsed by tour pro Kota Kiriyama, who
is a stickler for fine details. He noted that Jackall designs
and manufactures its baits using the latest 3D-imaging technology
(spec'd to 1/100th of a millimeter), which allows faster production
and increases the probability of having the exact same action
from bait to bait. Kiriyama said: "I truly believe these
are the best baits I've fished. They catch fish in all types of
water clarity and depths."
Falcon
Boxes !Next time you head out to the water, keep your tackle
dry and secure. These organizers take tackle compression to a

keeps your lipped and lipless crankbaits from becoming entangled.
A 4-latch system seals the lids firmly, keeping tackle dry and
secure. 12-3/8" x 8-7/8" x 1-1/4".
The
Falcon
Terminal Tackle Organizer has been intelligently designed
to hold your hooks, weights, beads, swivels, etc. The Terminal
Tackle Organizer will keep everything sorted to save you time
when you have to tie-on while you're fishing. The box is divided
into 26 separate compartments with suggested uses printed on the
bottom of each compartment. This box should hold most or all of
your terminal tackle for rigging soft plastic baits. If you use
different hook types and lots of different colors of weights,
you may consider picking up two Falcon tackle boxes.

The
Tackle Rac might be just the accessory you’ve been looking
for to make your day on the water easier. The Tackle Rac allows
you to keep tools like pliers, line cutters, and hook removers
where you want them in easy reach as well as providing a place
to hook lures that you may want to use later or to allow them
to dry before you put them away. The Tackle Rac is perfect to
place up on the front deck, on the back deck, in the cockpit to
keep tools, and inside lockers to hang baits and other accessories.
Make your boat more convenient with a couple of Tackle Racs in
strategic locations.

No
Sweat Mist. Simply a must for boat owner who care about there
investment. I know my 2006
Basscat powered by Mercury has been under the care of No
Sweat Mist™ is it arrived home and here's why...
Did
you know?
When your new boat comes out of its mold, the beginning of the
end has begun. The gelcoat starts to deteriorate the minute it
is exposed to sunlight, air and the elements. If your boat’s
surface is left outside unprotected (not polished) it will first
show signs of fading or discoloration. Next, the surface will
become chalky, with a light powder covering all exposed areas.
This occurs because filler that is part of the gelcoat is leaching
out. Wherever the filler has migrated to the surface there is
now a void. Under a microscope the surface would look like Swiss
cheese. At this point the gelcoat will hold dirt that gets trapped
in the voids. Normal cleaning becomes more difficult. Additionally,
the surface appears dull because light bounces around in the voids
instead of reflecting upward. If this process continues, eventually
the gelcoat becomes so degraded that no amount of polishing will
restore the finish. Knowing this, it is apparent why periodic
polishing of a boat’s surface is so important. Polish acts
as a barrier between the gelcoat and the atmosphere. No
Sweat Mist™ contains Ultra Violet inhibitors that screen
out damaging rays from the sun, similar to the way suntan lotion
works. These UV inhibitors greatly reduce fading and chalking.
If a new boat is polished when it is first purchased and then
repolished 2-3 times a year or so, the degradation process would
be virtually eliminated. Between polishing, the regular use of
a spray on protectant like No
Sweat Mist™ Quick Spray Shine Enhancer would help prevent
fading and chalking.
Now
you have my top ten list... And now when that someone asks for
ideas for christmas here's a pages where you can't go wrong...
