With the introduction of the Carrot Stix series, Element 21 developed proprietary carrot nano-Bio-fiber polymer technology. Carrot nano-Bio-fiber technology has a very high strength to weight ratio, is extremely light in weight, is environmentally friendly, has an extremely high elongation (which means it can bend to a surprising degree), and offers all of these excellent features at a cost-savings to the end consumer. The bottom line is that Carrot nano-Bio-fiber technology allows e21 to make a rod that is lighter, stronger, and more responsive, with enhanced sensitivity, even load from tip to butt, better load displacement, and better castability than any other rod in today’s marketplace. It is for this reason that Element 21's Carrot Stix was awarded a first place finish at the 2007 I-Cast show for Best of Show, Best Freshwater Rod, and Best Saltwater Rod!
