Serling and Steiger (4)
I believe the answer is:
rods
'serling and steiger' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for rods that I've seen before include "Straight, thin sticks" , "Long slender bars" , "Batons" , "Hot ones are modified cars" , "Fishing sticks or canes" .)
