Thanks for the input. I drug out the tape and measured the sections. Each is 22" unassembled. If all were the same originally, then it's unassembled length would have been 88" or 7' 4"......so I'm guessing that it's original length was a 7' rod and the tip has been shortened by about 5 inches. I'll throw up a pic in a bit.
