Default RE: Any advantage to wood push rods?

Light weight, weather stable, resistance to side deformation (wire rods "wobble" and distort against pressure - for better or worse), no danger of interfering with antenna or metal-to-metal radio interference.

Taper the ends to prevent catching on bulkheads and wrap the short wire ends with thread and then soak that with CA. I like and use them.
