A spear shaft in scale for 28mm should only be about 0.8-0.9mm at most. But we are not dealing with a representation of life and thin spears can look wrong against chunky figures. I think my spears come from Perrys or foundry. I bought a lifetime supply years ago and haven't managed to get similar ones since!
If you bought a lifetimes supply then, why would you need to buty more now?

Do you do that technique for your 6mm subs ? Or are the bristles too thick ?
No mate, I buy figures with spears already there. I may be a bit daft but there is a limit. Lifes way too short to have to fiddle around with attaching spears to 6mm.
Didn't mention it before but my mate uses them for his big chaps.

Yes it’s the big hands isn’t it.
Some of Those Warlord plastic Germans I’m working on have hands like Peter Shilton... but attached to a toddler. Genuinely bigger than the entire head and neck.

I assume the illusion of having a thin spear is a common difficulty for the over tall.

Our Alex uses brush bristles for his flag things - work a treat, flexible & don't snap.
Mind you, his brush isn't as bushy as it was.
