Subject: RE: Reject sucker rod



East of Broken Bow
We got ours same place as steel.
Since you say you heard they work well, I'll throw in a few things we learned.
They cut easy with a chop saw, but be sure to wear goggles and a mask/respirator as it send particles everywhere. We cut all ours at once to get it over with. When you are figuring out how to cut them, we found it is better to have them a bit longer and get one less post per rod.
The ends where the splices are epoxied on are good for anchors. You can weld something to the end so it doesn't pull up in a low spot, or sink in a high spot. Otherwise, drilling a hole near the bottom large enough for a small bolt or bridge spike works pretty well for areas that won't see a lot of lift or push down as you can still drive the post in instead of having to dig a hole like you do with something welded to the coupler.
Drill holes using low speed or you'll burn the bit. A drill press also helps.
Best way I saw to hold the wire is to drill holes through the post, and use a large cotter pin. Open the ends enough to get the wire in the eye, then run the cotter pin through the hole in the post.

Good luck
