Usually that is fiberglass or Graphite fiber composite tube or rod. Very springy.

A good place to look is McMaster Carr. If it's out there, odds are they have it. Don't always have the best prices, but you can get it all next day.

Scroll down to the very bottom, "Springs" under the "Raw Materials and Springs" heading.
