Hi all - I'm an artist working on a project and I could use some advice. I create assemblies that I want to mount on the end of a plastic rod . The nexus of this idea is a cat wand toy, I literally stripped a cat wand and repurposed the rod. What I am aiming for is some deflection in the rod so the assemblies swing and bounce a little in the wind. The assemblies are light. I'm thinking maybe 6-10mm rod, or tube I guess would be okay.

When I started to look at plastics - whoa, overwhelm - so many different types! So - any idea where I could start to look at samples? What material is a cat wand most likely made of? Any insight is most greatly appreciated
