Dia. Vs Drag ? .
Dunno if you have the chinese ? stuff there like in Aus . Dull matt black - even texture . ( probly dye ) Definately not resin rich .
I had some 1/8 & 5/32 for Combat Wing trailing edges . . .
Fortunately I cut a bit for something else , or bent one . Or something .
Youd be better to use bamboo . This stuff spilts up like that but worse .
If your in a bad mood just squeeze it between finger & thumb .
Think I was trying to wrap a bit of sandpaper around it. Or something .
ANYWAY , it splits , delaminates , and is cored severly off center . On the small stuff .
So youd be wise to ' handle ' it beforeehand to see if its trash .
However , Carbon fishing rod stuff , from ' the Factory ' Is REAL Carbon & resin rich . But tapered . So you can select a size along it .
You may need two rods , and dunno if tapered pushrods will catch on . Likely fairly usefull on something skinny aft .
