    E21 Fishing SUCKS

    Broke a Carrot Stix three weeks ago and had to send a portion of the rod for purchase verification back to them that cost me $12.00 shipping plus $40.00 more for the warranty replacement and still no replcement rod. I have been talking to a guy named Ryan with there warranty claims dept. and he cant even get a hold of someone with the compny to get me a tracking number for my new rod. The only thing I can see is they are about to go under. Ryan even gave me ther number to the compny in Canada and they won't answer. Anyone have any suggestions other than not to buy another Carrot Stix?

    Nope. No suggestions here. There warranty has been questionable for a while now.

    You mean to tell me that my old 10 yr old quantum walmart rods lasted longer than those expensive carrot sticks?

    Re: E21 Fishing SUCKS (JOHN202)

    I've got one that's 3 years old (ordered it before they were ever in stores) and it is by far my favorite rod in the box (though it's a close one now with that new Cara)...and I also have one of the "Gold" ones that I've had for a year and a half and it's garbage! The 'original' one is a 7'3" MH and the gold one is a 7'0" MH, supposed to be the same action, only 3 inches shorter, and i'm telling you they are COMPLETELY different rods! And that's exactly why Boyd Duckett parted ways with them.....on that note, that's the only 2 i've ever bought and won't be buying anymore since they aren't made like they were when they first come out. Just my .02

    I've used Falcons for years and have yet to see a reason to change. I've broken 2 i think in 20 yrs, one a hook set and the other got closed in a rod locker door... both were replaced for free...

    Re: E21 Fishing SUCKS (JOHN202)

    Duckett left Carrot cause he wanted to start his own company. He talked all of that smack about them than all of a sudden he comes out with a his own rod?? Shameless On a side note... on a recent fishing show I watched Kelly Jordan break a new Duckett rod on a hookset, irony at it's finest my friends!! That being said, the Carrot Stix are notorious for breaking and their warranty sucks. I rolled the dice on one and I am satisfied up to this point, but only time will tell.

    Duckett already had his own line of Rods before Carrot Stix, then he decided to dump his money into E21 and when E21 changed the construction on the rods he took his name off of them b/c they were making and selling rods that he didn't design/agree on....Now he has Duckett Fishing rods, that are ALOT like the original Carrot Stix (aside from the micro guides)..
