Re: Flexible, Bendable Rod
I know that if you're only looking for small tubes that Carbon fiber is a reasonable material to look into. In a tube form a carbon fiber rod is very flexible, very light and doesn't break or bend that easily. I haven't used it ever in a real situation but I did order some once just to play with. McMaster sells some but their selection is limited compared to that of other materials. I'm sure there are better suppliers if you're very interested.
