rods and materials

Materials
For the last thirty years sheet carbons have formed the basic fabric for most rods. Some rods may also use mixtures of other fibres to combine with the carbon to complete the make up. Glass fibres can be used to add flexibility and resilience, but they also add weight and are difficult to mix successfully with the less flexible carbon materials. Kevlar fibres can be combined to add strength also decreasing weight and wall thickness, but they can be very brittle.
