Rods for midgets I reckon.... half the price of a normal rod.

They are stand-up boat rods based loosely on the striker series of short strokers. Could be any line class as they were made from 20lb to 80lb. Used on the boat without a chair for normally larger species, tuna, sharks etc. The wooden butts are hickory (normally) and is really and early version of the heavy duty alloy butts we use nowadays. Not worth a lot unless somebody specifically wants them (collector). Way better and lighter and more powerful available these days.
