Agreed!!

I looked into using fishing rods but they are not flexible enough and will definitely break.

Tent poles may work but the larger diameter ones that I found were not flexible enough either. Smaller diameter ones may work but may not be strong enough or durable. So, at this point, I'm not convinced this is a viable option.
