It's possible that they were able to make those black metal rods and made those staffs from it, or made those staffs in some other way. But if they were TSB's, i don't really see why they'd make those staffs out of them since they seemed to have no special properties. I also can't see holes in their hand like Obito had initially.

Those with such an affinity just don't seem to be overwhelmed by it as easily as others. It seems to me that Jiraiya is an example of someone with no affinity for it, which is why he struggled to master it despite considerable reserves. On the other hand someone like Minato mastered it apparently easily (Judging by his comments, he was a novice Sage. Naruto had similar problems of not holding it long etc against Pain). Now we don't know exactly Minato's reserves, but i don't think there was much indication that it was extremely far beyond Jiraiya's.
