I recently changed from my trusty old hollow glass flyrod to a graphite one.

Graphite rods do conduct electricity, especially electric fences.

I got a hell of a belt of a cattle fence, had my hand tingling for about half an hour

Lol, never had the pleasure but one of my rods carries a warning label “BEWARE OF OVERHEAD POWER CABLES CARBON FIBRE CONDUCTS ELECTRICITY” along with a lighting bolt symbol.

I can remember hearing about some yanks that got fried by a lighting bolt that hit them while fishing in a thunderstorm in some lake….might have been the rods might have been the boat.
