Matt,
At our local dollar store, they are selling winter time reflective
driveway stakes, 1/4" diameter, 4 feet long, and made of yellow or
orange epoxy fiberglass, for a buck each. You can cut one to
appropriate lengths and epoxy them into an insulating mount (even wood
would be OK for a base), and affix your electrodes to the other ends.
Probably also available at your local Home depot for 4 times the price.
