The durable Kevlar net of these IM6 rods has made them the strongest in their category. Although the blank flattens under tow, the Kevlar fibers can withstand the strain. Similarly, suspender cables are used to stabilize the structure of bridges. We particularly recommended these rods for elastication. However, if you elasticate them, the tip should be cut back significantly. This means that the rod may be 0,5 meters shorter than its original length.
