Where to buy cable fishing gear for pulling cables

Hi folks,
I'm looking to buy some equipment that will make fishing cables through walls a bit easier, up to now I've been using trunking covers or still cable but a fishing rod type material type of device would be much better as it would stay straighter and could push is way through insulation without bending, I've looked in B&Q & Maplin but they don't have much to choose from.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Don't know where to get proper ones, but how about using measuring tape? Firm enough to stay straight and poke through a bit of resistance...

Victor,

Try a few electrical wholesalers. We use rods which are like mini sewer rods and can be screwed together. I've bought several sets from local wholesalers and it certainly beats the old trunking lid which I've also used on many occasions.

you can pick them up in most electrical wholesalers usually sold in sets of 8 1 metre lengths which screw together ..... expect to pay around 60 euro for a set
