shimano cumara

[QUOTE=slowride;387090]I read an article where Boyd Ducket canceled his sponser carrot stix because the rods there selling now are not the rods they started with that had a high level of craftsmenship and quality. He said if it had his name on it it would have to remain the same quality of rod and carrot stix kept taking shortcuts and trimming money. So he said he's done with them?? For what it's worth just fyi.......sorry if any spelling shortfalls, spellcheck down?[/QU

2 words to describe Boyd Ducket ( LASER LURE). It's all about the $$$ even when your already rich.

It is likely true about Duckett's leaving Carrot Stix concerning money. After all it's about the money, in most everything. However it is true that e-21 is having problems. lot of warranty issues and the rods are different shades of orange, when they can ship.

A friend owns a tackle shop and told me that his store has stopped selling carrot stix because of the warranty issues. A couple of the original investors pulled their support.

Perhaps E-21 can get these issues fixed. Hope so, lots of guys love the rods.

FYI saddlebrook outdoors in london has the cumara rods on sale. my wonderful GF just bought one for my birthday :D
