Fiberglass rods
 
more important reason why i'm looking
for a fiberglass one. The reason is that i can fish more safely during a
storm

The chances of your rod being struck by lightning are so remote as to be almost
non-existant, you stand more chance of drowning.

Probably you never heard the buzzing of a carbon rod during a storm...and
never had the soft electric shock by touching it.

Yes I have but that is caused by static, not quite the same as being struck by
lightning.

A carbon rod full of static is like a magnet for the lightenings...

But none the less there is a risk which is not mitigated by the materials
used to make the rod.

Hello! I'm an italian angler. I'm looking for a 2 pieces fiberglass rod of
about 6/7oz casting power.
I could not find what i look for, even searching on internet. It seems

they
don't exist. Can anybody help me, please


Good quality fibreglass presents a major problem for rod makers because they
very robust and don't shatter at regular intervals like their carbon
counterparts.
