preed37 Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I have three of them with no problems, I love them! Why dont more people fish with them? Am a one in a million? Quote
Aluma-Bass Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I have 2....I got deal on them reason for me getting them. No prob so far but not sure I would've paid full price. Some people had probs with them breaking but I haven't had no probs...but after using Dobyns rods hard to use other rods. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted July 19, 2011 Super User Posted July 19, 2011 When they first came out they were really a POS , sometimes that is very hard to overcome. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted July 20, 2011 Super User Posted July 20, 2011 I have 3 of the old golds and a wild spinning rod. I had an older LTX too but got rid of it, no problems, just couldn't fit it in my arsenal. Honestly, I compare just about every rod I get to the Golds when it comes to weight, balance, and sensitivity. I have only had one issue with the tip guide of my first gold grooving but it doesn't effect performance and seems to have been corrected in later models. Quote
endless Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I have one that I use for frogging. 7'6 H. But my problem isn't the breaking issue as much as comfort now. Mine kills my hand with that short grip. I know someone posted about how to add this tape to fix it without changing much balance if change any but I'll have to look up again and try that. Quote
preed37 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 i also have a new wild rod i got in recently and i feel that this will be my last carrot stix. i like them but i may be converting over to mostly shimano crucials. i love them!! this is a carrot stix thread but man, i really like the crucial series, and on ebay you can find killer deals on them.

Not to make it sound wrong just don't understand the purpose of the thread if your switching over? Can you explain please? Quote
s13john Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 i had a 6.9mh when they fist came out. it has been a champ i used it for 2 years and now my buddy has it. caught a lot of big fish on it, as a matter of fact my buddy flipped 7+lb fish in the boat the other evening not realizing how big the fish was.

preed37 Posted July 24, 2011 Author Posted July 24, 2011 no its called, asking what people think. Quote
Packard Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 No it's called being a bipolar moron. "Oh I love Carrot Stix I have not problems with them!" "This is my last one I love the Shimano Crucials!" Quote
trevor Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 No it's called being a bipolar moron. "Oh I love Carrot Stix I have not problems with them!" "This is my last one I love the Shimano Crucials!" Bipolar moron? Quote
Packard Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Bipolar moron? Yes both of his posts are moronic Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted July 24, 2011 Super User Posted July 24, 2011 No it's called being a bipolar moron. "Oh I love Carrot Stix I have not problems with them!" "This is my last one I love the Shimano Crucials!" We are all allowed to change our minds. I have recently done it myself. 6 weeks ago I was happy with my mix of Kistler and St. Croix rods, and would recomend either to any one. Well today after 3 broken Kistlers in the last 6 weeks, and dealing with Kistlers customer service dept. my remaining unbroke Kistlers, now matter how much I like them, are for sale............before I have another issue. At least if I break a St Croix (and I have) I know where I stand. Seeing that St Croix doesn't pay me to exclusivly fish with there rods, I will probably branch out again, most likely with Shimano or Loomis, who also stand behind there products. The only thing Kistler excel's at after the sale is dropping 3000 e-mails a week on you. So does that make me a bi-polar moron?? I have never been the most tactfull member here, and have tossed names around like a child, but that seems a little harsh, even to me....unless he's a buddy who's stones you are busting. Quote
preed37 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 i am a fan of many brands in the fishing undustry. just so happens i like shimano crucial (like many others) and i may be buying more of them. if that offends you in anyway, i am sorry? i am not "bi-bolar". if you dont have anything good to add to this thread then keep it to yourself.
