| Carrot Fibre fishing rods Anyone see that article in last weeks Angling times about a couple of guys who have developed a new rod making material using fibres obtained from carrots  I had to check the date to make sure it was'nt April 1st. Apparently they believe they can produce a fly rod that's superior to a carbon fibre one & cheaper too.....  I wonder if it helps you see in the dark?    |

| Re: Carrot Fibre fishing rods is it a carrot or a stick?? any micro fibre will give a good result and something organic like carrot will be expensive to stabilise but I bet it will perform well, look at the leaps we have made with carbon fibre from glass fibre. I believe I heard somewhere the first trials are to be done with Fly rods |

| Re: Carrot Fibre fishing rods i wonder if they'd have special storage instructions coz they justmight go a bit soft and wrinkley if left in the veggie rack too long __________________ 2008, sessions..16,,total blanks..2, species,..13. its easier for a man to destroy the light within himself than to defeat the darkness all around him. |

| Re: Carrot Fibre fishing rods Does that mean that if you ever snapped/lost your tip section, you could just stick the butt section in a saucer of water and grow a new one? I'll get me coat. __________________ Ollie: "Call me a cab." Stan: "You're a cab." Just another night on the beach with Ping. |

| Re: Carrot Fibre fishing rods I might have known - as soon as I purchase a new carbon rod (more on that in a few weeks) they bring out a new material for rods - Carrots  http://www.theriverkelvin.co.uk/phot...9307_carrot203 Two Fife scientists have developed a new material made from carrots to replace glass fibre found in everything from fishing rods to car parts.  |

| Re: Carrot Fibre fishing rods Perhaps we would see a lesser spotted donkey or a buck toothed wrasse appearing on the record books as well. WHAT'S UP DOC! |
