Carbon fiber is super strong in relation to weight, but it wouldn’t be as strong as a fiberglass body.

Both carbon fiber and fiberglass can be hand laid in the same manner. The carbon fiber will be lighter and more expensive, but it won’t handle impact as well.

Graphite fishing rods are light and quite strong, but they can’t take a beating like fiberglass can, and when they break they shatter.
