Is .355" carbon poles strong enough for a spreader bar? If not for both ends. How about just the foot end. I saw them at Quest outfiters.

For a bridge hammock or hanging tandem? I wouldn't think that small of a diameter would be stiff enough for a bridge hammock. It's important to size them to withstand tangential forces. Carbon fiber doesn't handle those forces as well as aluminum.
Here are some spreader bars for the RidgeRunner hammock: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ad.php?t=71188
Detail Man is right though... What do you want your carbon spreader bars to do?

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir
