E21 Fishing SUCKS

[Bowman1]

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?

[Alan S]

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

welcome to the club buddy I am on my third carrot stick. This one has lasted me a year so I have my fingers crossed

[fishin couillon]

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

Most overrated, gimmick, piece of junk rod ever sold...

Cut your losses and be done with them....

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 like my Cara's

My brother's is in the boat and I seriously grew attached to it over last weekend. Sweet rod

[JOHN202]

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...

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.

Let me fish with it for a day . I broke #3 for the year on Sunday.

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)..

Everybody that I know is breakin them dang Carrot stix , you wont catch me buying one . But the few ppl that I know with the old rods are very happy with them !!!!!!! Good luck with the rod Bowman1 , but I dont think theres much you can do about the warranty or getting your rod bak .

[Rebel1]

Kistlers for me!!!!!!

[SUSHII]

I brought mine to bass pro both times and they swapped em out right there
