Stick, shaft (3)
I believe the answer is:
rod
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'stick' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'shaft' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for rod that I've seen before include "Old saying 'Spare the . . . and spoil the child'" , "Sceptre" , "Long bar or pole" , "Thin straight bar" , "Angler's pole" .)
