Tried fish tape vs glow rods for a tough conduit pull yesterday

I was running three cat6 lines through a 2-inch conduit with four 90s in an office building in Austin, and my fish tape kept getting stuck halfway. Switched to fiberglass glow rods and got the whole pull done in 10 minutes flat. Anyone else find glow rods way better for tight bends or am I just using the tape wrong?

My hubs swears by putting a vacuum bag on the far end first.

Nope, I used to think the other way too until I tried it @susan_wright34.

Used to swear by fish tape for everything but @carr.lee is right, glow rods are just better on tight bends. That vacuum bag trick from your hubs sounds clever too, might have to try it next time.
