Graphite is conductive. While there seems to be some confusion as to whether fiberglass is or isn't, metal guides and salt water are also conductive, and I wouldn't fish in lightning with a glass rod either.

You are also conductive, and lightning has been know to strike water or nearby ground and travel to a person standing close by.

When you hear thunder cracking and no longer rumbling, it's time to get under cover.
