Acrylic / Clear 42"-55"
Acrylic is a transparent and lightweight plastic material with outstanding strength, stiffness, and optical clarity that has excellent impact strength.
Though it appears to be made of glass, acrylic is used to make acrylic rods as well - for example, legs for ''JALG'' new product line.
They are lightweight, durable, and naturally UV resistant, very good at keeping their own shape, as they will not bend or break easily.
The tensile strength of acrylic is around 8000 psi (it takes 8000 pounds per square inch to break acrylic), while the tensile strength of polycarbonate is around 7000 psi.
Looking at that difference, you'd expect acrylic to be much stronger. But that only means that it can hold up more weight before breaking.
