How about Jet Rods?

7024 rods are often called Drag rods or Jet rod and are still used quite a bit in certain industries.

I met a nice lady named Andrea at Fabtech (she is @hotwork247 on Instagram)
She routinely welds with 3/16” and 1/4” stick rods at a steel mill.

3/16” 7024 electrodes lay down a lot of metal but there can be issues.

The 2 in 7024 means it is not an all position rod …its only rated for flat and horizontal.

Since a horizontal fillet weld is actually more like flat welding, thats why 7024 gets the horizontal rating.

Once you start to get to a true horizontal weld, things can go off the rails.
