+1 fibeglass rods, I have used those for the last 5 years I have been doing data\comm work and I am a big fan. I have seen some old school guys that laugh at my fishing poles, but then they see them in action and I get "Where did you get those sticks from ?? ". I don't like the greenlee fish-stix as they tend to splinter and crack a lot and those fiberglass splinters are a painful thing. At LSDINC.COM you can find the ones I prefer and they are made in a spiral wound fashion that I have not in a year had one splinter on me. You can get all kinds of tips that thread on to them. Once I was installing some fiber between 2 buildings and the helper tripped on the pull-string and yanked it into the underground pipe, no problem I took my zig-zag tip and hooked the string that was 20' down the conduit in 2 minutes.
