The Klein Tools 56405 is a single 5-foot mid-flex glow rod with a protective splinter guard coating. The 3/16-inch diameter luminescent fiberglass rod provides mid-range flexibility suited to most fishing applications, balancing pushability with the ability to navigate bends. The glow coating charges in ambient light and illuminates dark work spaces. Compatible and connectable with all Klein Tools fish and glow rod sections. Made in the USA. Intended as an individual section for custom-length builds or as a standalone rod. Product has been discontinued by the manufacturer.
The 56405 is discontinued — what is the current replacement?
The 50052 (5 ft. Mid-Flex Glow Rod) is the direct replacement. Same length, same mid-flex rating, same glow coating — the 50052 is the current version in Klein's updated lineup.
Is there any difference between the 56405 and the 50052?
Both are 5-foot mid-flex glow rod sections. The 50052 is the current production model with any manufacturing refinements Klein has made since the 56405 was active. The connectors are compatible across both models.
Do 56405 sections connect to current Klein rod sections?
Yes — the threaded connector is consistent across Klein's fish and glow rod line, so 56405 sections will work with current tips and rod sections.
