Ok, I give up,
I have been looking for a shorter Sabiki rod, and I keep finding the same 2 length rods, does anyone know where I might find a less lengthy model...?

What size did you have in mind?

I use a Apache kids spinning rod i found at a walmart for $10.

This is a really good Idea..

Ok CJ,
I would like to check this out 5-5.5 ft ok, can I order online or do I have to come down there?

I was going to make one out of a bamboo stalk from my backyard. It is still drying in my garage, but then I realized I'd need to split it in half to cut through and sand smooth all the nodes and then glue it back together... it would be cool, but not enough spare time.
