As the title and photos show. Please take a good look. The self-made item is a sturdy black iron rod. The 10mm pillar receiving part is 7mm thick. I mainly used it for shore fishing on gravel, and it's quite durable. The other one is a commercially available item for sandy areas. Both have rust, but are still usable. I've lightly painted both, so please feel safe to purchase. Thank you. As an addendum, the yellow rod rest extends to about 120cm when fully extended.
