Do carbon fishing rods break when left sitting?

It will.

Carbon rods will age. Carbon fishing rod is relatively light, good toughness, easy to carry and use, and therefore favored by many anglers. Professionals, carbon is a semiconductor material, can conduct electricity. The more expensive carbon fishing rods, the higher the carbon content, the stronger the conductivity. Therefore, when choosing a fishing location, please be sure to try to stay away from power lines.

Expanded Information:

Carbon fiber is a polyacrylonitrile fiber or asphalt extracted into a silk, high-temperature carbonization made of very fine carbonized fibers, the diameter of 10 microns or so, 7 to 8 arranged together to have a hair as thick.

Carbon fiber has high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, friction resistance and other characteristics, and good electrical conductivity. The most commonly used carbon fiber cloth mainly has 0753#, 1003#, 1250#, 1503#, its thickness is 0.092 mm, 0.114 mm, 0.137 mm, 0.16l mm, while the quality of each square meter is 148 grams, 182 grams, 218 grams, 255 grams. Generally, when designing a fishing rod, small cloth numbers such as 10# or 0753# are used for the tip sections, and larger cloth numbers such as 18# or 1503# are used for the thicker handle sections.
