I popped into Lidl today and noticed that they had a basket/section of assorted cords & rope. Amongst it was "PP" (polypropylene) rope suitable for spearfishing float lines. Very similar Rob Allen's olive/orange float line except that it was only available in dark blue (which looks quite good). I didn't buy any, as I already have several float lines - but a bargain@ £1.99 for 20m for those in need of a good float-line. (I have found 20m to be more than enough for all my needs so far.)
If you want to make it more like a Rob Allen line, splice a generous loop (e.g. big enough to get 4-fingers through it) in each end.
