Long slender bars of metal or wood (4)

I believe the answer is:

rods

(Other definitions for rods that I've seen before include "Straight, thin sticks" , "Hot ones are modified cars" , "Fishing sticks or canes" , "Long slender bars" , "Thin sticks or staffs of office" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
