A structure for connecting an attachment to the end of a fiberglass rod, tube or other profile. The rod is separated into a plurality of segments which are held apart from each other by a spacer-spreader. A plug is disposed within the interior of the separated segments, preferably being cast in place. A cavity is formed around the exterior of the segments, also preferably being cast in place. Means forming a slip plane is provided between the exterior of the segments and the cavity so that upon the application of longitudinal tension to the rod, the segments and plug will move longitudinally within the cavity to convert such tension into lateral compression which transfers the load across the entire cross-section of the rod.
