Carrot sticks
 
Just got this from a friend who works at acadamey.
big sale, Carrot Stix rods. $149 retail, $59.99, $199 retail, $69.99 at any Academy store.

The golds are $69?? That is a good deal if so.

specktator 03-02-2011 12:22 PM

DAMN I might go get one now just to try it out. Thanks for the info.

eman 03-02-2011 01:46 PM

Just remember there is a reason they are selling at this price.
It will be a Clearance item probably w/ no warrenty once they sell out.
Check w/ acadamey for warrenty info???

Are these rods any good I've never fished one??

Dink 03-02-2011 01:54 PM

They're real light and sensitive, but prone to breaking

specktator 03-02-2011 01:58 PM

Yeh I have always wanted one but always heard bad things about them so never bought one. But for half price I might check one out.

gonzalesdave 03-02-2011 02:12 PM

I have an older one. I bought it because I got a smoking deal and planned on selling it. I ended up liking it.....I still use it often.

bluewing 03-02-2011 06:27 PM

Please guys unless you're fishing for Bream, don't buy this crap. Had two of em. Bought from two different stores and both broke. One on a 16" red and one for no apparent reason on a cast. Junk!!!!

Dink 03-02-2011 06:40 PM

Jordan could break one without using his tailgate!! That should tell you sumthin!

you don't say!

SaltERedneck 03-04-2011 03:58 PM

I just called the warranty dpt... 4 straight days with no answer. They inform me that the model I bought is no longer available... hmmm is it because it sucked arse??? then the lady informs me that the COMPANY... which whom builds these rods are out of stock of the equivalent Gold Series 7 foot model. What they had available was 6'6 and 7'6..... uuummm go build some more. then she tells me she doesnt know when the next shipment will be in and there is a 40$ shipping and handling fee. Soo i will be out a rod for how many days??? Called the warranty dept another 3 times and NO answer.... I see micro guides in the future.
