Element 21 Salty Carrot Stix Element 21 Salty Carrot Stix Inshore Spinning Rods <!--Henry Waszczuk-->
Made from Element 21's high modulus nano-Bio-fiber (carrots) polymer graphite technology, yielding incredibly light, yet strong and responsive action for landing the big ones. The proprietary stress-free design analysis program allows the creation of a blank that is evenly stressed from tip to butt. This reduces the risk of potential rod failure, creating what is commonly referred to as progressive action. Features proprietary guides with TiCH frames and inserts, high-quality Caxin reel seats, Thermalon grips and butt grips with rubberized cork butt caps, and integrated weight port to allow for personalized balancing. Manufacturer's lifetime warranty. Action: ML = Medium Light M = Medium MH = Medium Heavy H = Heavy

Best rod out there,
October 27, 2009
By Jeffhcb
from NY, but fish in Florida
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money
Disadvantages: none
"There is really no other rod out there like this. I am a big G. Loomis fan. They are the class of the industry. But these rods are just a bit lighter and more sensitive. They cast incredibly. That is one thing I think most reviewers fail to mention. I have the 7'6" model and it casts on a dime. Long, and straight as an arrow. I have fished it relatively hard in saltwater on some very tough fish. I even accidentally hooked a 150lb tarpon on this rod. Of course I didnt land it, as I was on shore and it busted off my leader. But the rod did not break like a lot of these guys claim the rod does on 2 lb fish. I dont get that. This thing has crazy backbone. If i had tied a better leader, who knows. I felt confident I could have had a chance at that fish had I had enough line.
Match up a Stradic 3000 on this and you'll be in love. The cabo is a good choice too, but a little heavy for this rod. Get one, you'll love it."

Mixed,
October 23, 2009
By akmkmc
from Katy, TX
Advantages: Performs well
Disadvantages: Durability
"I’ve owned two e21 Salty Carrots. They are defiantly the most sensitive rod I’ve fished. I caught a slot red on my very first cast and figured the rod was blessed from heaven. However, I find them a bit fragile. I broke the first one after a couple months use. It broke while casting a light jig. The second rod was laying on the floor of my boat with three other rods, and I drove to the coast. On arrival, I found three good rods and a broken Carrot. Something is off. I also noticed they changed sponsors this year. I wish I knew how much action they see on their warranties."

Great Value!,
April 23, 2009
By jebsays
from Houston, TX
Advantages: Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money
"This rod is a great value for a higher mid-range rod. The warranty is tough to beat. Bass Pro will honor the over-the-counter exchange with proof of purchase.
The good - great guides, plenty of backbone to handle oversized reds, great action for working artificials, super sensitive (especially when paired with a superline), extremely light weight and balanced well from the factory.
The bad - have had to test the warranty out. The tip guide foot came loose from the epoxy; while still functional, it caused trouble with superline tangling itself."

Bugs Bunny would be proud!,
January 10, 2009
By fishavet
from FL
"The thought of one of my rods is made of carrots, leaves a sweet taste in my mouth, considering I cook for a living, and live to fish. The novelty of it was my first thought to buy, but I would tell all to try one out. I bought this rod (7' CSIS70M-F-S 6-15lb line class) as a light weight salt and heavy freshwater. Couldn't be happier with the weight and strength. Its sensitivity is amazing."
