fish tapes work well in long runs of conduit... The fiberglass rods work way better when you need to push, as well as pull.   The fish  tape does not push, inless it is in something like conduit. dan--- via Mercedes February 13, 2020 at 2:52 PM I have a fish tape

I’m going to poke around from the inside first so I know where all the rafters are relative to the soffit. I suspect there would be a rafter in the corner all the way down to the fascia. If so, it’s there behind the soffit, I just can’t see it. If I can tell that the rafter goes all the way down

Do you have, or can you readily get more of the soffit material in the same color? If so, I would suggest that you maybe just pop rivet a second layer of soffit material under the existing layer. That will give you a double thickness that will make it stronger. You should not need to open up the
