Dollar-for-dollar, is e21's Carrot Stix the best?

[shimanogloomis man]

id buy one but i have to many poles

[fish-fighting-illini]

The big problem that I see is that I happen to like carrots. If these rods really catch on a bag of carrots will go up to $12 / bag!!

 lol  OUCH!!

       This thread has spiraled out of control..........I have never seen so many unhappy people about "1 brand" of fishing rod in my life. I have combo's that most of you would consider total junk. I own 30+ rods, ranging from Pinnacle , Kistler , Daiwa , Quantum , Falcon , BPS and so on.

           The thread should be called, "for those who own one, is the Carrot Stix Worth $150.00 ?".

I just popped open a rod tube that arrived today from Tin2win. The tube had 2 Carrot Stix in it. My first thought after seeing one IN HAND was the same as seeing one in an online picture.....man, these things are ugly!

Other than being an eye sore, the rods are very light, look to be well built and I like the split grip, no foregrip design. The spinning rod feels a little more tip heavy than the casting rod but should balance out nicely with a Pflueger Supreme hanging off of it. I plan to stick a Revo Premier on the casting rod.  

Tin2win sent these to me to try out while his holes are all frozen up. I plan to get out with them this weekend and form a decent opinion on how they fish.

And yes, they are light, but not as light as my Helium LTA's.   Very interesting rods no less.

Thanks for sending them Mike, I'll do my best to break 'em in.....hopefully they can handle a jigging spoon cause its about that time.

I don't know how good they are, but that color is beautiful.  Pretty much the only reason I've thought about buying one.

That's all I needed to hear. Pretty cool gesture there Tin2Win.

Any of you E21 fans know of a crankbait rod coming out or is out yet?

That would be one rod I may be interested in.  7 foot or longer?

[LakeAnnaBasser]

Alot of people think they are ugly. I actually like the looks with the split grip and the orange and black is my high school color.

          Jimzee,  the rods E21 has made with a parabolic action are intended for cranking. The list several on there site, both spinning and casting.
