Default Question on carbon fibre fishing rod
wrote:
My intuition about the rod and wire in parallel appears to be incorrect
unless the resistance of the rod is quite low, at least on 7MHz.
Separated and insulated from the rod seems to work quite well on 7MHz.

My South Bend Sunny Day SD-20 pole doesn't show any DC
resistance even when the paint is scraped off.
