If you really need fiberglass, try Max-Gain Systems:

I'm not sure you need fiberglass. At least one of the current
builders of fan dipoles uses 1/2 inch PVC pipe. It's cheap and easy to
work. The old W9INN (SK) fan dipoles used wooden dowels for
spreaders on his fan dipoles, A bit thicker than a pencil. Again
cheap and easy to work with. Fiberglass costs more and if you have to
cut it, makes an itchy dust that you don't want to inhale.
If you are only doing 1 extra element, you can just tie the ends to the
same support, only a bit lower and forget the spreaders.
If you really want fiberglass, maybe some little kids cheap fishing
poles, but I still think I would go a different route. Anyway, that's
my story and I'm sticking to it.
