Where do you find 3/8" fiberglass rods? Would be looking for 4' length, if possible. Want to try Hagz brackets for 110 coni"s, for rats. 5' would also work.

Amazon has them. I bought a 50 pack of 5’ rods from there last month

Fencing supply stores carry them.

Our local farm store usually has them on sale late in the year for $1.00 a piece. Understandably they don't last long.

I saw the white ones at Tractor Supply, (online), but was hoping for either orange or yellow. I suppose white would be easy to see before or after snow. Of course, a shot of orange paint on the tops would be the answer.
Thanks, everyone!

Fencing supply stores as stated above. Buy the white ones and buy a can of orange paint and dip 10 or so of them at a time.

No matter what kind you get I strongly suggest storing in a building and/or painting them in the off season. Uv light is the culprit and the glass will start to shed after 2-3 years if not protected. I have color coated for length but find I am grabbing the 4' colored blue ones more often. If in a deep water marsh I will use the 5' yellow ones. I got some from a Vineyard Supply store that are 8' green colored and use them in lake and ponds. Use electric fence post insulators in place of the Hagz for saving $. Works for me. ....................the mike

Bought mine at a farm supply store. Agree with Wife, keep them inside and paint them.

Thanks everyone. Last year was the first time in over 40 years I trapped muskrats. Been trapping in southeast Alaska all that time, and no trappable rat populations there.
Fittingly, my first furbearer was a muskrat, in 1974, in Oregon. No Hagz brackets back then, and probably 3/8" glass rods either. I just had a few #1 Victor longsprings that my dad used for gophers.
Had a lot of fun last year chasing rats again. I think they were worth more back in the mid-70's than I got last year, too!

Driveway markers are orange and yellow, 4' and I'm pretty sure 3/8", even has a reflective strip on top...

The highway markers sold at Menards, Lowes, Home Depot, etc., are 5/16" diam. but I have used them when coons or larger furbearers are not present. I have a lot of stories/experience with these (5/16" & 3/8" diam.) rods and got into a good discussion with Rich S. about 15 years ago on their usage. Suffice to say I held a lot of incidental coon in wetland/marsh situations as the longer ones held more catch circle vegetation (cattails, reeds, bulrush, etc.) when i connected with a coon. My experience. .............the mike
