Carrot stick ?

Has Anyone Tried The E21 Carrot Stick Rod ?

[artcarney_agr]

I have my doubts about that rod. At first I thought it was something really cool, however the more I thought about it, the more it didn't appeal to me. They didn't use carrots to try and create something that's completely awesome and revolutionary - they used carrot fibers because it was cheaper than using graphite. It's 70% carrot fiber and 30% graphite.

The carrot stick was born out of a way to save a buck, but does it make the price of the rod any less?? Of course not!

Does it make the rod any better than a graphite?? Probably not.

Will I buy one? No.

This is just my opinion on the Carrot Stick.

Maybe you should try one before you let your opinion known. It kills me how one has an opinion on something they know nothing about, this is my opinion.

I heard it makes you see really good while night fishing. LoL But the jury is still out on this one. Time will tell.

Got this off the ICAST website...
"The Carrot Stix is 30% graphite and 70% carrot material. By adding Nano level cellulose bio-fibers extracted from carrots into a super high strength epoxy matrix and then molding this matrix around a thin walled ultra-high modulus graphite skeleton an extraordinary symbiotic relationship occurs between the two materials creating a rod blank that's truly "unique" in every sense of the word."

I think it's a great idea fishing is all about exploring new ideas but asking $350 is pretty bold. If this rod isn't better than a IMX-GLX Loomis quality...well I don't see how it can compete. I want to see one and pitch a jig just to see how good it is.

iT IS GOOD TO SEE THAT SOME COMPANIES ARE TRYING TO "GO GREEN" IN A SENSE. BY USING BIO MATERIALS IT COULD HELP PRESERVE OUR ENVIROMENT AND KEEP US PLACES TO FISH. AND IF YOU DONT LIKE THE ROD YOU CAN ALWAYS CUT IT UP AND USE IT IN SOUPS AND STEW'S. lol lol lol
