Cleaning Rods

I am looking to buy a carbon fiber cleaning rod because I am tired of bending cheap aluminum rods. I was looking at Tipton, Gun Slick, and Proshot. Anyone have any opinions on these.
Thanks,
Troy
 
I have one of the Carbon Fiber Tipton's. I really like the bearings in the handles, butter smooth and will follow the rifling all the way down the barrel. Between Midway, Midsouth, Graf's they seem to be on sale about every other month.
 
Thanks guys for the feedback. I think I am going to try the Tipton out in a few weeks after my wife gets over the new Leuopold that is on its way!!!
 
I have two "favorites".

Tipton carbon fiber rods, but make sure you look closely at the brass fitting end before you buy it. Often, the fitting is misaligned with the rod, and there's not anything you can do about it. It's been my experience that only about 6 out of 10 are actually straight. If you get a straight one, they are really good rods.

Another great one is Pro-Shot's 1 piece polished SST rods.
