A little fun with Carrot stiks and what next.
Submitted by crasny1 on Mon, 2009-06-08 09:18
Reading Colins bit about his new nano fibre Carrot stik I thought what next. Maybe a Celery Stik. Just thought we could have some fun with what next and what we would call it. A Banana Bender etc.
I am sure we could come up with some funny names for nano technology rods.
Some fun because the wind is bloody blowing its box off up here and fishing is not on the cards offshore.

Heaps of possibility-
A Hot Rod - heated butt for all the sooks.
A Rod Stewart - very old creaky rod.
A Dip Stick - used by those who fish 10 feet away from you on an empty beach.

What about catgut fishing line
Wait on, that's already been done. It is interesting that in the 1850s modern fishing lines were woven from linen, silk, and more rarely cotton or flax thread. A bit like the braid lines of today.

And I guess the Carrot Stix are in a way
related to the split cane rods that were the gun technology many years ago - as those rods took advantage of the elasticity and strength of the fibres of the bamboo cane.
