Just guessing...
See ref. source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous-rod_warhead
A continuous-rod warhead is a specialized munition used as part of an anti-aircraft missile.
When detonated, the high explosive imparts a momentum to the rods, thrusting them outward in an expanding circle. The rods are sufficiently ductile to allow the expansion without breaking the welded joints, the rods instead bending at these locations. At some intermediate point the ring will have a zig-zag (alternating direction) appearance within a cylindrical envelope. Upon ultimate expansion the ring is circular and contained within a plane.

That describes the warheads, not the rods themselves, of course...
