Get rid of the white line and get some braided fishing line. Looks just like cable. Cortland Musky Master is the best choice and comes in black. If you need it to be silver get the clear braided line and die it silver with some RIT dye that can be purchased at most grocery stores. RIT dye will change the color of any type of clear plastic if left long enough in the solution. Hope this helps...

Go to Walmart, in the craft section, you can find actual steel cable which scales to about a 1/2 inch. It is with the beads and bracelet stuff and comes in 15 ft pieces.
