Switched from fish tape to glow rods for crawlspaces

Used to swear by fish tape. Ran everything with it for 4 years straight. Then last spring I had a 40 foot run under a house in Austin. Fish tape kept snagging on insulation and debris. Took me almost 2 hours just to get the first line. Next day my buddy let me borrow his glow rods. Ran that same job in 25 minutes flat. Now I keep a set in my truck for tight spaces. Anybody else make the switch or still using the old way?

Heard that. Two hours for one line would've had me ready to burn the house down.

Gotta set a timer on your phone, @linda626, saved me more times than I can count.
