Bar staff (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

3

5

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'bar' is the first definition.
(both can mean a pole or stick)

'staff?' is the second definition.
(both can mean a stick or cane)

(Other definitions for rod that I've seen before include "Old saying 'Spare the . . . and spoil the child'" , "Former measure equal to a quarter of a chain" , "that most anglers use" , "A stiff stick" , "Bar, shaft" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and the Irish Times.
