barroncooper Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 anybody ever heard of em' guy was just telling me that this was what all the "pros" were moving to. just kinda shrugged it off and said cool. I googled them and their website was rather lackluster. Quote
Super User Tin Posted February 4, 2010 Super User Posted February 4, 2010 It is a new rod made by a custom-rod builder. $150 or so a pop. I remeber hearing about one of the bigger name FLW guys and Clay Dyer talking about them. Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 4, 2010 Super User Posted February 4, 2010 Which pros are moving to them ? Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted February 4, 2010 Super User Posted February 4, 2010 Citrus sticks? Not a good choice for a name. When I hear citrus, among other things, lemon comes to mind. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 4, 2010 Super User Posted February 4, 2010 I'm coming out with a new line of rods. They will be infused with actuall bass flesh nanofiber technology. I'm calling them "Fish Sticks" Quote

I'm calling them "Fish Sticks" You could also add shreds of wood to the blank from recycled violins and have "fiddle stix". Quote

fatmanslim247 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 They haven't been out very long, and the owner kind of pumped some no name pro staffers into the company..... From what I have heard so far they are pretty good rods, I haven't seen one so I am waiting for some more reviews before I buy. Quote

Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted February 4, 2010 Super User Posted February 4, 2010 PUT THE SQUEEZE ON 'EM http://www.citrusstick.com Quote
sal669 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Goodness gracious !!! Annother "BLING, BLING GIMME YOUR MONEY !!!" I'll just stick with the "tried and true".... St Croix, Fenwick, Shimano,Daiwa, Abu, Dobins, Powel etc,etc,etc. All have great rods in that price range. ( maybe a couple bux more, but worth it) Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 4, 2010 Super User Posted February 4, 2010 Ott Defoe is using their rods. Only one pro ? Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted February 4, 2010 Super User Posted February 4, 2010 Even if they are the best rods ever built could they ever be perceived as anything other than a gimmicky Carrot Stix knock off? Quote
Bronzefly Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I'm coming out with a new line of rods. They will be infused with actuall bass flesh nanofiber technology. I'm calling them "Fish Sticks" No way! Well, it had better be a collaboration at this point because my "Fish Sticks" were almost done! Are yours a Chartreuse and White candy cane swirl pattern too? ;D There was a ton of "chatter" about these on another board over the past month or two. It was quite comical, but it certainly helped spread their name there and inevitably sold them some rods! Quote

They will have a gaff hook on the butt end, no net needed for your trophies! Actually, that "internet chatter" is the part that rankles me. Come out with a new line of rods, put a website up, and have ten of your buddies post up about it. I realize its the "new paradigm" in advertising, but its based on nothing but hype. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted February 4, 2010 Super User Posted February 4, 2010 Just another ugly rod. Quote
Stasher1 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Man, I thought the orange ones were bad. Those Citrus-thingies are painfully ugly. Quote
barroncooper Posted February 4, 2010 Author Posted February 4, 2010 They haven't been out very long, and the owner kind of pumped some no name pro staffers into the company..... From what I have heard so far they are pretty good rods, I haven't seen one so I am waiting for some more reviews before I buy. that's why i put pros in quotations. I was kind of like yeah right.

Jake. Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 PUT THE SQUEEZE ON 'EM At least there's no way the rods could be worse than the slogan. ;D Quote
YeahSure Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Did you see the pics? Why would you try to sell your $155 rod and display it next to great grampa's tackle box and an old boat from the Red Lobster down the street? They look like glow-stick catfish poles! Took the words right out of my mouth. http://www.citrusstick.com/album1_008.htm You would think they would at least take em and put them next to a blinged out ride or something. Quote
bowfish12 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Ott Defoe is using their rods. Only one pro ? As far as I have heard that's the only big pro using them. Quote
barroncooper Posted February 4, 2010 Author Posted February 4, 2010 they probably painted a bunch of old carrot stix. I'm not buying the deal. It seems to me that if they were something so revolutionary, they'd put a more effort in to the presentation of the website. I personally don't see how anyone can compete with the falcon bucoo in medium priced rods except for the shimano compre. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 4, 2010 Super User Posted February 4, 2010 What's funny is, you gave them over 250 impressions for free, just by starting this thread. ;D Quote
