The Jameson 11-38-500M Big Buddy Duct Rodder is built for long-run cable pulls, featuring a 500 ft. by 1/2 in. fiberglass rod that delivers strength and flexibility for conduit installation work. Its non-conductive construction supports use in a range of environments, while the round, flexible rod profile allows smooth movement over existing wires and reduces the risk of kinking during operation.

Designed for efficient handling, this rodder supports both vertical and horizontal operation to adapt to different environments. It includes a drag brake and safety feed eye to maintain controlled payout and retrieval, helping operators manage tension throughout the process. Markings every 5 ft. and every 1 m provide clear measurement references on this rodding reel. With compatibility for Big Buddy accessories, the unit allows expanded functionality for varied conduit tasks, particularly in 4 in. or larger applications.

A 10 in. bend radius enables the rod to navigate conduit turns while maintaining structural integrity, and the 1,000 lb tensile strength supports consistent pulling performance in manhole-to-manhole runs. With dimensions of 47.5 in. x 44 in. x 20 in. and a total weight of 260 lb, the The Jameson 11-38-500M Big Buddy Duct Rodder combines strength, control, and adaptability for most conduit work.
