The metal rod won't work as it will ground the antenna mast. The mast is isolated via the rubber or plastic bushing in the cap and top of pipe and another isolation bushing at the bottom of pipe just above the mechanical section. The antenna lead connection is soldered or clipped to the mast and then the center post in the plug bringing that out to the cable is isolated from the pipe.
