When a person says anything regarding fishing, you may picture a tranquil Saturday morning on a lake. Well, the kind of fishing we are talking about doing has nothing to do with angling, but with wiring and cables instead. More importantly, it has to do with using fish tape to efficiently feed cables through small spaces, bends, and other obstructions. Aka: it will make your job a lot easier.

CableOrganizer® has a great selection of fish tape ranging from inexpensive and super simple option like the Push-Pull Rod to the more complex options for big jobs like the Jameson Little Buddy Rodder and Accessory Kit. Whatever you are looking for, we've got you covered.


FISH TAPE HELPS YOU RUN CABLE SMARTER, FASTER, BETTER

As with any job, it is necessary to have the right tools to make sure things get done well. No one wants to produce bad-quality work, whether it is for a personal home project or for work. Running cable can be notoriously frustrating, because it is almost inevitable that you will run into a “roadblock” of sorts on the path the wire is supposed to take. Humans aren't built with the ability to catapult things through narrow spaces and around corners, and that is where fish tape becomes your trusty sidekick.


SAVE YOUR FLOORS, WALLS, AND CEILINGS BY USING FISHING TECHNIQUES

If you want to run wire to add a switch, light, or other electrical part to your home or for work, you clearly need to work around walls, ceilings, and floors that are concealing the wiring. It wouldn't be smart to start knocking things down and tearing up the floorboards just for one little wire. People often don't realize that options do exist.

Fish tape works because it is firm enough to snake through small spaces, but soft enough to curve around bends, get through tight spaces, and not snag. It works for everything from pulling wires through piping to fishing wires from one end of the house to the other.

If you are thinking about adding wiring to your home or have work to do coming up that requires running new wires through the structure's existing frame, stop what you are doing and get your hands on some fish tape first. Trust us — you'll be glad you did, and your work will be much more pleasurable. It will save you time, effort, and frustration in the long run.
