booneangler Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I was looking at these rods on the internet and noticed that they make a 7'6 im assuming for flipping. I thought these rods were not designed for bottum bouncning i thought they was more a cranking rod? I bought a shimano flipping stick a while back and i am extrememly new to a flipping stick and was just wondering if these E21 7'6 would be any lighter then the Shimano 7'6 i have? I just feel that if i had a rod that was a little more lighter i would enjoy a little more. Quote
Still a Bigbuckifan Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 the carrot rods with the parabolic action are for crankin. the others are just like normal rods Quote
booneangler Posted May 30, 2008 Author Posted May 30, 2008 i thought so that is what i needed to know. Quote
KevO Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I can gaurantee you it is lighter than your shimano. I have one paired with a Shimano core and it is just about 10oz total. 3.5 coming from the carrot stix Quote
hawgchaser Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Its made with real bits of carrot...So you know its good! JK, I actually kind of want one Quote
mattm Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 If you think you will like light, the carrot is the way to go. People can say what they want, but nobody can argue about the lightness of this rod. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted May 30, 2008 Super User Posted May 30, 2008 Buy one, you won't regret it. Give The Bass Shoppe in Abingdon a call. They might have some in stock for you to handle. Quote
FunnyFish Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I have a 7' spinning carrot and i do everything with it. Have been jigging right now and having success. If you want a light rod Carrot Stix is the way to go. Quote
TheBeast Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I love the one I have 6'6" med. I use it for topwaters, got it paired with a Revo STX. It will cast a mile and weighs nothing. I will be getting more in stock here as I can. My warehouse is a little slow on getting them in but they get a shipment every week, so if you need one ordered shoot me a PM. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted May 30, 2008 Super User Posted May 30, 2008 I have the 7'6" and I love it. I havent even used it as a flipping rod yet. Been throwing smaller swimbaits on it since March and it works perfectly with baits up to 2.5 oz. Like Burley said, you wont regret it. Quote
