The Carrot Stix Fishing Rod Is Now Available

Back on July 17th I wrote about the product that received the best of show award at the ICAST 2007. This is the fishing industry's highest award. This innovative product is a fishing rod made from carrot fibers which is extremely light and strong, weighing 3.1 oz. at 6 feet 9 inches length. The Carrot Stix is part of the new line of Element 21's revolutionary fishing rods developed by veteran designer Ken Whiting who is known as the Wizard of Rods. Element 21 develops and markets golf and fishing products made from the Company's proprietary Scandium Alloys which are known for their distance, consistency, accuracy and feel. I am anxious to give this new generation of fishing rods a try. They will soon be available through several retail outlets; however can be order directly from the company now. (see information below)

Let me give you the description of one of their rods:
Designed by Boyd Duckett 37th Bassmaster Classic World Champion and Ken Whiting the Wizard of Rods, our new Classic Gold series is a striking combination of versatility and performance. From its high tech Stress Free blank design in high modulus graphite and Nano Cellulose Bio-Fibers to its anodized aluminum weight port butt cap the Classic Gold series is one fine piece of fishing equipment. Maticulous attention to detail is paid to the construction of each and every Classic Gold rod as noted by many inherent features which would typically, only be found on custom rods. For example, locking wraps on each single foot guide, guides with no ceramics to crack or fall out, our easy access weight port for personal balancing and our own in house Maximum Exposure II split reel seat for the ultimate in blank / hand contact and sensitivity. In terms of performance the Classic Gold Carrot Stix series exhibits an extremely well balanced combination of lure presentation, castability and overall rod control. As Boyd said, "If this wasn’t the sweetest rod I’ve ever fished with, it wouldn’t have my name on it."
