Dear LF Group,

My fishing poles are also black, but proved to be good insulators, with the
wire attached directly to the poles without requiring any additional
insulation. I think carbon fibre poles would be a lot more expensive than
the ones sold via the amateur radio retailers.

Cheers, Jim Moritz

>>From G3PLX:

I have some black coloured poles (from www.sotabeams.co.uk) but they were 
certainly not carbon fibre, but glass fibre.
Maybe the black paint was conducting, I don't know.  I wanted them as 
conducting elements anyway so it was not important.
