I own all Kistler rods with the exception of 2 rods. I love all of them.

They are very light and ultra sensitive! When I first started using my Helium rods, I caught myself setting the hook every few seconds, to nothing :P I can feel every piece of grass and every rock my bait touches.

The only downside, if that's what you want to call it, is the rod rating. Heliums are definitely over rated. If you normally buy a Loomis MH, buy a Helium H. They just seem to run on the light side.
