My buddy has a CS and it hasn't busted yet. Cheapest I have seen a CS is at Wilson's in Perry. He sells them for 119 a piece.

Those rods are pure junk! I tried a couple when we are jigging for biat and busted one first trip out. They got a lifetme wrranty but the company is about to go bankrupt. I like Falcon rods for light tackle. Carot sticks are good for nothing if you really use it.

I regret my kind words about the Carrot Stix. I traded it today for a Falcon Cara. Much better quality. I agree with you Natureboy.

I will next time old buddy!! I have learned that many of the lures and tackle are designed to catch fisherman....not fish.

It is a great rod. Just be careful with a very fast tip or you will jerk an oyster off the bottom and crack your skull. I like a G Loomis 7 foot but id say they are about the same

Well from what I heard from an industry insider, they are doing just fine and have a boat load of "new style" rods on the way.

I'd stick to Falcon (sponsor) for store bought & a Matthew's Fishin' Styx (sponsor) for custom or specialty rods.

I'll holler at you RC.

I'm listening.

I can vouch that, if you can articulate what you want out of a fishing rod, Matthew Jacobs, the fine craftsman at Matthew's Fishin' Stix, can custom build it for you. I can't wait to brag on the awesome light-weight long-caster he built for me.

I'm only just waiting to catch a fish big enough to warrant the brag.

Ugly stick Doc. If it is hard to beat then why all are using it.

What is that supposed to mean??

IF anyone is needing a rod built then I stongly recommend Mathews Fishing Stix. He built a spinning rod for my girlfriend and it is top of the line! I was out fishing shortly after X-mas with my brother-in-law for Tarpon and once we got on them I made the call to Nina and told her to bring her arse along with the rod down to the coast. On her second cast she hooked up and landed a 30lb tarpon. First fish on the rod! She absolutely loves it.

Thanks again Matt! The rod is awesome!!!!

Awesome Eric! Matt is a good guy and I have no doubt his rods are top notch..

Sorry to dredge up an old thread.

Byron V busted a Carrot Stick on GoingCostal this morning.
