What you are looking for is braided monofilament. for example-

Airflo Fly Fishing Braided Mono Backing - 40yrds 20lbs on eBay (end time 10-Oct-10 19:30:50 BST)

If you are using light PVC lines for delicate presentation then a better option is to remove a couple of inches of the coating with nailvarnish remover, bouble back the core to the end of the coating. Sew the core together to form a loop and then whip over it with tying thread and coat it with a flexible glue like evostick.

It makes much neater loop.

This is the method I use only I put a "sleeve" of 30lb braided backing over the fly line core before I sew it down. Works extremely well and has the added advantage that you only need a needle, not a credit card..
