A shepherd's rod is typically a long and slender stick made of wood or metal, ranging from 4 to 6 feet in length. It often has a curved or crooked top that can be used to guide or catch sheep. The rod is a traditional tool used by shepherds to manage and protect their flock.

The Rod and Staff, as mentioned in Psalms 23, was the tool used by the Shepherd (also known as a crozier) to protect the sheep but it was also used to gather the sheep.
