I use them exclusively. It seems everyone but me is in love with coated rods but I hate them--the coating will always scrape off. Carbon rods are slick and very tough, and don't get gouged like aluminum or coated rods.
Brass rods are nice, too |

The Tipton rod looked pretty nice to me. Are they stiffer than coated steel? The only thing I didn't like on the first glance was the available lengths... 36" is too long, 26" is too short.

Yeah , the lengths are screwy. The long ones are kind of "whippy" for shorter barrels, but using a Stoney Point bore guide with my 20" barrel works out fine.

After sitting on and bending a Dewey coated rod I replaced it with a carbon fiber rod. I love it.

I can't speak for rods but I recently bought some carbon arrows for my bow and they are alot better than aluminum arrows stiffer stronger always true and never warp. I gave my 2 dozen aluminum arrows to my son to shoot at a stump .
