Abstract
A cylindrical ferrule having internal threads is joined to a fiberglass fish tape having an outside diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the internal threads. An adhesive between the fish tape and the threads bond the fiberglass and fills voids between the fish tape and threads. The cured adhesive bonded to the fish tape acts on bearing surfaces of the threads to resist loosening and pulling away from the ferrule.
