How can I remove the particles from the end rod block base?

Just today I wanted to try and make a block using the end rod base as I haven't before. It all went perfectly until I placed the block down in a world. The texture and placement was fine but it still emitted the end rod particles, is there any way to disable this?

I've tried overwriting the particles with the particles properties section, and creating a process that makes it impossible for particles to appear. (Such as checking if the block is a different block). 

Any help would be appreciated!
