Bought Carrot Stik crank bait rod

just bought a Gold 7 ft Carrot Stik with the parobolic action. This is the rod with the cork grips. I will report back after this weekend. Am putting a Revo Premier on it for crankbaits and spinners.

i have a 7’2 spinning rod. i absolutly love mine. i have many avids ledgend tournys and a few elites, and i like this one just as much as those if not better

Have you had a chance to use it yet? The fish are biting here.

No not yet. next weekend we will give it a spin. putting a Revo Premier on it. I was out fishing the IA River over the weekend and caught some nice walleyes. Hooked up a 10 lb wiper that took me for a ride in the current. Guy next to me had a paddlefish on for 10 minutes. You never know in the river.

Is the reel seat comfortable? Looks like it would either be really nice, or really not nice.

theeel seat seems to be comfortable. i have not had alot of cast on it yet so all day comfortable is a different story. the cork extension on the reel seat fits well in the V created by the palm of my right hand. this was a comcern but because it is tapered the short extension is good. I compared this to the Cruciuls and they did not taper this part and it kind of digs in.

I’ve purchased four Revo’s this year. I love those reels, they cast like a dream.

After usage this weekend I like the rod for 1/4 to 1/2 ounce crankbaits. Also up to medium running cranks. I may look into the 7 ft 2 inch Carrot Stick Reg parabolic as it may be more to what I am looking for. I will say the parabolic action is spot on what I am looking for in a crankbait rod that will double as a spinnerbait rod. Jake, so you bought 4 Revos which models and when are we going fishing? I need to get on that new Ranger and fish some new waters. Oh by the way the fishing was not so good with the weather this weekend. I spent equal time between Big Spirit and West okoboji. Cold front plus high winds make for a tough bite for me anyway.
