The 6 Best Fiberglass Fish sticks (2023 reviews)

The ram-pro fiberglass fish stick is the best feature-rich stick on the market today. It makes very quick work of pulling cables whether thru empty walls, thru insulation, or around obstacles. The rods provide the flexibility and length required for the installation. It can add more for longer and less for shorter.

The sticks are quite flexible, which can be good or not depending on exactly what you are doing. The rods are the ideal length, connectors are solid and well crimped, and the amount of flex is just perfect. The sections just screw together with no other connections. It is a tight fit because of an existing 12-2 electrical wire.

Why We Like This:

Works great and bends without breaking
Easy to use, easy to store, and a great value
Works well, but ends unscrew and break off easily
Flexible, but stiff enough to run a line
