After first introducing carrot science to the fishing world with their popular Carrot Stix Rods, Element 21 is now on the fore front of another rod revolution with their Micro Guide technology! In addition to reducing the overall weight, improving casting distance and durability as well as increasing rod sensitivity, the Micro Guide technology complete with 11 premium-quality Fuji guides also works to eliminate rod tangles and line wrapping while allowing thick diameter lines like 65-pound braid to shoot through with like a breeze. The Carrot Stix Micro Guide Trigger Rods are constructed by extracting nano-Bio-fibers from actual carrots and then bonding these strong, flexible fibers with Scandium, one of the earth's lightest and strongest metals. This revolutionary construction process results in an incredibly light yet tough and responsive blank with progressive actions that lends itself perfectly to a wide variety of techniques.
Yes the 7'8" has a fast tip and the 8' rod is extra fast on the tip and both are nice for swimbaits. The 8' rod is 2X Heavy so it's for bigger swimbaits.
I would go with the St.Croix because I don't like small guides for flippin'. Small guides are better making longer casts. Also look at the BPS Johnny Morris Signature Series, BPS Big Bass Nitro, and BPS Extreme rods in the 7'10" one piece models.
St. Croix. I broke a 7' heavy carrot stix in less then a year on a fish and can't get ahold of their warrenty center for replacement. They will not return calls or emails.
Im in between a Duckett 7'3" MH and a Carrot micro god 7'3". I would like to know which one is lighter. If anyone has compared the two, an answer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
i have 1 of the micro guide carrot stixs.. my friend has the duckett.. i have used both on a quantom smoke and i can honestly say the carrot stix is a little lighter and that is not just because i own one .. these are 2 of the lightest rods around.. but in the overall picture they are both quality rods worth the money
The small guides improve your casting distance as well as increasing rod sensitivity, the 11 guides also works to eliminate rod tangles and line wrapping while allowing thick diameter lines like 65-pound braid to shoot through easily.
the micro guides help the line stay closer to the blank when casitng so there is less line flutter. This enables the bait to be cast further and more accurate than normal guides. I have a few of both and I can really tell the difference
have both the 21 carrot gold and the micro guide and the line just seems to flow off the micro guide a little smoother. but the 21 cg has smaller than normal guides I found though so it might just be how I have the reel set up on both. like the metal butt cap on the 21q cg better than the micro guide version though so you wont go wrong with either.

The Micro guides are MUCH higher quality then the guides on the other however this rod is sub par on many levels per its price range. if you want to spend 200 bucks on a rod buy you a Daiwa Zillion rod you will have a FAR better rod... if you have to have a Carrot get you a last years model GOLD model on sale for a 100 bucks at least you wont have wasted 200 and they are a fair rod at the 90-100 you can get them at.
JAG, I use Berkley Fireline and P-Line Premium. One can actually cast about 10% further with added sensitivity because of the micro guides and the fact ther are more guides in contact with the line. The real fact, in my opinion is that the rods have that real strong tip strength that enhances everything.
