i hasve a carrot stix on order but it is on back order and they dont know when they are getting in. so i am thinking of changing the order to a kistler magnesium ts. but i want to know if i should just wait or go a head and change the order. and another thing the kistler i want is a 7 foot mh but it is a sinko rod can i also use it for jigs, worms, and other things or will it not work as well. (any help would be great)
thanks

Shimano Cumara..........Hands down....My 2 cents.
2nd that on the Cumara ! I had 1 of the 7'2" I think it is spinning rods for over a year in my rod box ,did'nt use it hardly at all . Fishing a shakey head 1 day an fell in love with it . Now I have 2 of them , and I'm a G.Loomis man ,probably have 15 of them, but thinking of trying some of the Cumara casting models as well. I was impressed .
the cumara is out of my price range so. that is why i narrowed it down to those two rods, my price range is $150.00.
thanks

I really dont like the way carrot stix feel, ive picked up a few and thats as far im goin with them. Iv never touched a kistler but ive heard lots of good bout them. I think theyre both quality rods tho, if the carrot stix feels good in your hands id get it.

ill put it this way, i have 11 kistler rods, and 1 carrot stick. dont get me wrong the carrot stick is ok. but it is not as sensitive and light as the kistlers. 3 of mine are the magnesium, semi cork handels, the rest are the helium's. i would take the magnesiums even over the heliums because they are sensitive and have a little better backbone to them. hope this helps. heck for that matter, if you decide on the carrot stick i will just sell you mine and get another mag for myself. pm me if your set on the carrot stick.
Renegade marine has them in stock
yes they do, and rengeade marine also has a great price on them as well. or at least they did last year when they put my jack plate on. i bought two of mine from them. and if you are not close to renegade marine, you can place the order of the one you want at ranger bobs.

brlfishing: I agree with you. Kistler are awesome rods. I have around the same amount of them as you, but I perfer the helium or the mags. I can't say anything about the carrot stick, never used one. But, no matter, I'll stick with Kistler: Sensitive, very light weight, good fast tips, and backbone.:D
