USED FOR?

A few years ago, I sold a large number of blanks to a Guy in Japan.
These were NOS Lamiglas spinning and casting blanks.
He had me cut them all to 5.5 feet.
Does anyone know what type of rod they would be used for?

On a more serious note, possibly they were use for some purpose other than fishing. Kite spars, etc. Hard to say.

if they were real heavy blanks they could have used them for tuna jigging. or beating sticks.

I have some 5.5 feet casting rods. I use them with heavy line to drag big fish out of the rocks/mangroves.

The short rod helps when skipping a bait/plug back under the bushes that hang down almost to the wtrer.

Gabe,
They do make good beating sticks. My kids are very well behaved.
