I had a fiberglass marine antenna I think made by HyGain. Inside the fiberglass was a long piece of magnet wire with a matching coax stub below it. I've googled for details on this design but I cannot find them. As I remember the main radiator was simply a piece of magnet wire embedded in wax and then below it was a coax matching stub. I want to make another version so I can keep it rolled up when not used and then just strap it to a pole when I want to deploy it. Unfortunately, I did not document the design when I took it apart. Perhaps the design is more like a 5/8w vertical with the coax matching stub below it.
