Okay so I have had my Fibreglass Pull Rods for years now and they are finally breaking on me. The problem is I can't remember where I got them from. They are small in diameter and super flexible and screw together. They are great for fishing walls and I can bounce them across ceiling tiles. We have the Greenlees that are stiff but not flexible. We also have the Ideals that are smaller but you can't screw them together. Can anybody tell me who makes them and where I can find them.
Thanks

Lowes sells chimney sweep rods that are Fiberglass and screw together as well. You might also try Music Supply Company.

I got mine after the Mod's meet in Vegas in 2008. Ordered them from one of the Vendors that were present by the name of of "Bergstrom". They were called "Grabber Tool".
Best darn investment I've ever made in tools. Used it again today.

I second Labor Saving Devices. Their Creep-Zit kit is the best I've ever used. I have been using them for 20+ years.

Mine are Creep-Zit also. I don't think I got them from LSD's though. But can't remember where, been so long ago. But they are just as you described: flexibel, small diameter, screw together. Had one screw on attachment that was the "egg beater" end for bouncing over ceiling tile grid. Came as 5-six foot pieces in a white tube.

Bergstrom Manufacturing, the super flexible orange poles are great for fishing walls, better and faster than the typical steel fish. I haven't touched my steel fish more than ten times in the last year. I think the guy who runs the company is Mark Bergstrom. If you need the number I can get the tube from my truck. He does sell stiffer versions but they keep cracking on me. He will replace but you have to pay shipping.
