I have found large filler spools of various test (strength) monofilament so
cheap it's almost free.  Look to bargain stores (dollar stores, etc.), and
clearance sales at sporting goods departments.  Since diameter is the key
here, and not brute strength, the cheapest 14-20lb monofilament should be
more than adequate.
