Other than the Boyd Duckett line, they have a rod made out of carrots, bright orange, and made out of carrots!

I couldn't find anything from e21 on it! I'm sure the TT crew will get the scoop.

I remember someone mentioned curran being used for rods. Here's some info from another company: http://www.cellucomp.com/

kbookert, Can you be a little more specific?

I'm skeptical at best, but before I say too much I'd like to know how they're implementing an aluminum-Sc alloy into the fishing rods? Maybe the handle or the guides?

The claim of 40% improvement in strength to weight of the aluminum alloy over carbon fiber is questionable, but that's not the key number anyway. The stiffness to weight, or specific modulus is more meaningful when if comes to rod blank itself. I've yet to see a metal or metal alloy blank that can compete with CF when if comes to the specific modulus.

E21 won best fresh and salt rods with the Carrot Stix and some other rod for Salties. Ken is doing it all!

skeeterboy,

The Carrot rods and the Curran materials were invented by a couple of Scottish guys who started a company called CelluComp. I'm as skeptical of them (the rods) as I am about aluminum rods. lol
