Carrot stix rods

I have 3 of them, 2 casting and 1 spinning, very light, but strong, casts extremely well, in fact I have 3 more on order, 2 casting, 1 being a flippin stick and also 1 more spinning rod. Cant tell you any thing bad about them.. Testimonial: one of my casting rods came in as I was leaving for south LA. for some spec and red fishing. I put a reel on it with 30 lb. braid, was using it to catch specs , but a monster red came into the school and I hooked it. Well it ran around the boat 3 times taking drag every time I got it close, I told the guide to get the net ready, because I was tightening the drag down and horsing him . I literally pulled the red fish in and got him netted. It measured 42″ and the guide said it was the largest he had seen in that part of the marsh in 5 yrs. He also commented that he could not believe that size rod was able to handle a fish that big, and what a testimony it was for the rod manufacturer. Thats all I got to say about them!!!

I have a Carrot Stix in a spinning rod and I like it. Its lite and has the action I like for throwing Spot Stickers and 4 inch worms. Orginally when to buy a Kistler, save about $100 over the Kistler though. If you get the spinning rod, first thing is get rid of the bait hanger thats on top. Does nothing but hang your line on the retrieve.

While they move at a show display like free candy, we have heard mixed reviews on the rods. Some liken t to a glass rod or a cross between glass and graphite. We have held them and feel similarly. It will be interesting to see how they stand the test of time in the market.
