  Check the McMaster-Carr website. I suspect they have something you can use.

  I am not sure you will find plastic treaded in any real length [noparse][[/noparse]like 12 inches or more].
  
  You might try buying aluminum or plastic tube. I see it here in art supply stores. You can easily purchase a screw tap that will thread the inner diameter to allow you to insert a brass or steel screw at the end.
  
  You might buy carbon fiber tube and epoxy a thread on the ends for lighter weight. Model airplane suppliers provide carbon rod and tube.
  
  If you are worried about the ends coming apart, you can wrap them with epoxy and fine brass or steel wire.

  I think I remember smallparts having them in appreciable length, but to quote Thomas Dolby, my brain is like a sieve.

  I spotted some 24" or so in a local hobby shop in the R/C airplane section. They have quite a bit of rod at Lowe's, but I don't remember seeing nylon...
