If I want to reduce a length of carbon fibre solid rod in the middle, with a gentle taper from each end, will it affect it's strength or properties at all ? Or will it fracture in any way ?

You could coat it with epoxy resin as that would give it some wear resistance, however it would not significantly increase the rods strength nor would it stop it fracturing.
