I'm not sure if anyone makes them anymore, but GC and others used to
sell a plain fiberglass rod that I've used in the same way. It's very
easy to shape it however you wish and the material holds up pretty
well. Various grades of Garolite in 1/8" diameter are available from
McMaster Carr for around $3 per foot - the FR-4 grade should be pretty
similar. (Note it's only sold in 4 ft. lengths so you'll have a lifetime
supply!)
