    Has Anyone Tried The E21 Carrot Stick Rod ?

    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

    Kudos to them for trying to go a little greener and develop something new. Do they have it at BPS?
