My Muncie dowels are about 4 inch long bolts with the head cut off and the ends rounded so they are smooth. For the Cobra I needed about 8 inch long dowels and lacking energy to look for 9 inch long bolts I could cut the heads off of, I bought all-thread and cut to length - so yeah, you can call them rods if you like.
