A real good piece of straight grained hickory is hard to beat- adowel from the hardware store is usually only a shot term answer,I use a fiberglass core from one of my wore out CB antanae- it's not very traditional but lasts forever -I'm gonna order a good one from dixie gun works for the looks one day!

Fiberglass is great.  Won't bend a lot, won't break, etc.
One thing it will do is bad things to the crown of the muzzle.  Always use a bore guide with a fiberglass rod - they are somewhat abrasive.
