What is fish tape? This is not real tape. It has nothing to do with fish. So what is it? It is a long, thin nylon, steel or fiberglass filament designed to pass through confined spaces and wall cavities to pull cable guide ropes through pipes and cable runs. Why is it called "fish belt"? Well, apparently, you have to "fish" the tape over before laying the cables. Yes, it probably needs a better name.

We have a wide selection of fish tapes to help your cable pullers, here you'll also find belt repair accessories and other fishing and pulling aids.

Go fishing? It's a no-brainer if you're running cables

When a person talks about fishing, you probably picture a peaceful Saturday morning on a lake. Well, what we call fishing has nothing to do with gilled aquatic animals, it has to do with wires and cables. More importantly, it has to do with using fish tape to efficiently route cables through tight spaces, bends, and other obstacles. AKA: It will make your job so much easier.

Sinta offers a variety of fish tape options, from cheap and super simple options like braided fish tapes to more complex options for a wide variety of jobs. No matter what you're looking for, we've got you covered.

Fishtail Tape Helps You Lay Smaller, Faster, Better Cables

As with any job, it is essential to have the right tools to get the job done. No one wants to produce poor quality work, whether it's a personal home project or work. Laying cables can be very frustrating because it is almost inevitable that there will be some kind of "road block" in the path the cable is supposed to take. Humans don't yet have the ability to catapult objects through tight spaces and around corners, and that's where Fish Tape becomes your trusty companion.

Protect Your Floors, Walls and Ceilings with Phishing Techniques

If you want to run wiring around your home or workplace to add switches, lights, or other electrical components, then you'll obviously need to work around the walls, ceiling, and floor where the wiring is hidden. It's not wise to start tearing things down and tearing up floors just for a small wire. People often don't realize that choices do exist.

Fishtail tape works because it's strong enough to meander through tight spaces, yet flexible enough to go around bends and through tight spaces without snagging. It's perfect for everything from pulling wire through pipes to running fishing line from one end of the house to the other.

If you're thinking about adding wiring to your home, or your next job requires running new electrical wiring in the structure's existing framing, stop what you're doing and use some fish tape first. Trust us - you'll be glad you did, and your work will be much more enjoyable. It will save you time, energy, and frustration in the long run, and we can all use less of it!
