A few years ago, original bright orange fishing rods appeared on the American market. This is Carrot Stix, which literally translates to carrot stick. The rods are produced by the Canadian company element21. In early 2007, Internet news feeds were full of headlines about a new material isolated from carrots, the fibers of which could be a good replacement for fiberglass and graphite fibers, which are widely used in modern industry. Moreover, as the Scots inventors stated, first of all they intended to make fishing rods from a new material.

A little later, e21 appeared on the scene with Carrot Stix rods, which made a splash at the iCast2007 fishing exhibition, “taking” as many as three prizes. Fishing rods have entered serial production with blanks that differ in material from the prototypes presented at the exhibition, but, according to the manufacturer, still made using nanofibers of organic origin. The e21 website states that the rods are made of High Modulus Graphite and Nano Bio-Fiber Technology, that is, high-modulus graphite using nanofibers of bio-origin. Naturally, the manufacturer is silent about exact information, both about the material and the exact production technology, which is quite natural - no one has canceled the trade secret.

They are made by extracting nano-bio-fibers from natural carrots, and then combining these strong, flexible fibers with scandium, one of the lightest and strongest metals. Components are supplied for Original Carrot Stix spinning rods from Element 21 only with hard chrome plating of guides and inserts.
