Some pretzels (4)
I believe the answer is:
rods
'some pretzels' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for rods that I've seen before include "Batons" , "Long slender bars" , "Thin sticks or staffs of office" , "Fishing sticks or canes" , "Hot ones are modified cars" .)
