Because the rods are formed by the user's chakra. And you need incredible chakra to control the rinnegan.
Hashirama was an edo, believe his body is weaker automatically (sage mode increases his defense but it still is weaker due to edo).Also those rods are stronger than the spikes Naruto fell onto. Rods countered an susanoo arrow and pierced 8 tails I believe.

Check the entire chapter out. You'll find that Naruto's SM was drained dry by Preta Path.
He loses the circles underneath his eyes suggesting he is in SM which is why he was pierced through.
You'll note that prior in the battle, with his SM on, the rods had broke when it hit him.

I already know about that naruto situation
Because its rinnegan and Gedo technique, thats mean it should be superior than sage mode.
Rods are extremely hard remember they threw of a Amaterasu Susanoo arrow so im not surprised.
Are you sure about that?
Both Obito and naruto turned their TSB into black rods.
Then there is people like Sasuke and Black zestu
TSB is not Will materialization but Yin-Yang release that gained by having Rikudou Senjutsu. That is TSB rod not Black Rod.
Black Zetsu is Will materialization of Kaguya in the form of living being while Black Ŕod is not a living being but functioning the same as BZ.
And what about Sasuke?
Naruto can used TSB rod because of having Rikudou senjutsu, Juubito can used TSB rod because being a Juubi jin.He's a rinnegan user that doesn't have the ability to produce black rods.
Jiraiya got rammed through a pipe line through animal path (bull) and came out unscathed, so why is this rod capable of damaging a sage user?
A simple will means nothing really.
This rod "GG poked," the great frog sage mode user Pa(jiraiya's mentor) to death.
Databook fan translation calls the black rods rinnegan trademark for six sun red yang seal formation, yet it was clearly made from a TSB Obito had and two people were able to use these rods without the rinnegan.
