Used Sucker rods are highly magnetized. You can get a de-magnetizer if you know someone that will let you use one. Also use an A/C machine.
 Use 6011 rods. Wrap the ground lead 5 or 6 times around the sucker rod. If it's still magnetized , wrap it in the opposite direction.  It is a pain in the butt to build something with magnetized pipe or rod. Even if you get it to weld it is a very weak weld and prone to break easy.  But like I said, if you know someone in the oilfield tool servicing field, they can de-magnetize the whole pile of rod with a de -magnetizer.
