YOu couild try come sporting good stores for fisihing, the rods are usuallyt made of carbon fibre, or you could give some industrial, buildall comapnys, like home depot, or lansing build all.

Some companies who make fishing rods may be able to direct you to a whole saler.

carbon fiber is similar to fiberglass cloth. its a reinforcing material used to strengthen resins. its stronger and lighter then glass fibers, but more expensive. if you want i can bust out a catalog to quote from. plastic is a generic term really, since there are tons of different kinds.

some of the suppliers on my FX links page may sell it, but i think (cant say for sure) that fiberglast is the only place i've seen that sells carbon fiber "as is"


better stop before i get too technical
