I think there may be some confusion here -- what is often called fiberglass 
"guy rod" is made by Polygon and comes in rolls.  It is flexible and is 
terminated with Big Grips.  There are also semi-rigid fiberglass power pole 
insulators with clevises on each end that can be bought from Joslyn 
distributors, but they typically are a bit longer -- say 14-21 feet.
