I first use an old wood Outers 3 section with one of the squinch down jag heads and Hoppe's (or Slip 2000 Choke Tube Cleaner if going after plastic), then a Dewey solid brass rod with a Pro Shot brush, and finish with a Tico Tool.

I like a sturdy rod on a shotgun. I picked up a solid, one piece stainless steel cleaning rod from a muzzle loader place and an adapter for shotgun brushes. It is at least .250" diameter. The universal cleaning rods that are sized to go down a .22 rifle bore are pretty limber.
Somewhere I think I still have a three piece wooden rod with brass ends in a case. The sections screw together like a pool cue. I bought it at an auction in the 70's just as a collectible.
