Wow! It’s been quite a while since I’ve made a post. So lets get right to it.
I was reading about a new fishing rod made by “Element 21” that actually uses some bio-technology to add carrot fibers into the rod creation process! Can you believe that? Very cool.
I’ve used my good ole trusty Garcia Mitchell for about forty years and it hasn’t ever failed me. It was top of the line and is a lite-ultralite rod. It makes it very easy casting the light lures I like to use and I’ve landed some nice 5-6 lb fish on it.
But after reading about these new “Carrot Stix” fishing rods, I’m tempted to buy one and check them out. So I was wondering if any of my readers have any experience with these new rods? If you do, please post a comment here and let me know how you like it? I would really appreciate it!
If you’ve never heard of these rods (like me, before today) you can check them out at their site. Just click on the link below:
From what I’ve read, they just signed a distribution agreement with “Dick’s Sporting Goods” so they should be fairly easy to find in the very near future!
So come on guys/gals and share your experiences with these new and interesting rods please.
Catch you later.
I’ve been a fan of the Quantum fishing rods myself for a number of years. Never had any problems. I almost always fish with 6lb test which makes it versatile and easy to catch a largemouth bass on one cast and a bluegill on another. I have heard of the carrot stix, but don’t have any experience using them. They sound, like you said, tempting…

Hey Jonathan,
Thanks for your input! I usually use 4 lb test string unless there are a lot of weeds – then I’ll drop my 6 lb test spool on.
I’ve read that these carrot stix rods are outselling the competition and have really taken off these last 2 years. Hopefully someone will enlighten us with their experience.
Thanks again,
Mark
Hello,
thanks for the input. I have’t try carrot stinx yet but this post made me interested about the subject and I have reading about it. I will let you know what I find out about it ok?
I saw these rods in the store the other day. Looks like an attempt to make a run at the Ugly Stik business but did not appear to be as well built.
