I've used wood, fiberglass and aluminum and ramrods stay put. No problem with spring until I bend one and it breaks. They last decades. Ramrod never comes out except for hunting so that's not much use. Range rods for target and plinking.
 
The retention spring on the Lyman GPR built in the mid 80's is the worst I've dealt with so far. And, at least on T/C rifles it doesn't need to be removed to unhook the barrel for cleaning. I've appreciated all the input offered in this thread and believe a better alturnative to the wrap of masking tape currently employed has been given.
