Kevlar fishing line is the most readily available source. It does stretch some because it is braided. Spectra line is also very low stretch, and another source of both Kevlar and Spectra is kite string. If you really want the minimum amount of stretch, Kevlar tow which is unbraided is the best. I happen to be the owner of two reels of real tow. (Previous sentence is the result of breathing too much methanol. Let this be a warning to substance abusers everywhere.) If you want some, I can provide small quantities - Kevlar tow, not methanol.
