Carbon versus glass fibre.

#1 Post by scara »

Hi guys, wondering if someone can explain.
What's the main differences between a class fibre and carbon tip on quiver tip boat rods?

Thanks,

Basically the all glass tips are softer in their action than the stiff carbon tips. The glass ones also tend to be more forgiving when abused.
