I found this post on 2cool. Not really a glowing endorsement for Carrot Stick rods.
Sabine 2-26-11-Took wife fishing this afternoon for a couple of hours today and caught a few Redfish. Lots of bait jumping out of the water and the water temperature is up. Caught this nice Red on light spinning rod. Carrot Stick did not break, I might have got a good one.
