Using climbing rope, like Ella's Leads uses, or a static rappelling rope you can easily make your own leads with rope clamps and hardware that you can usually find locally.
Blue can chew right through most ropes but I made a coupler out of a static rope that has barely frayed after a year of use.
ETA: While EllasLead uses climbing rope to make their leads my next leads and coupler will be made from a static rope.

•Why "Static" and what does it mean? Well lets just say for example you are in a situation where you are a rescuer and you are lowering a rope to a victim floating in water. Now your average Nylon Rope normally would have about a 1/3rd stretch factor when wet, and if you find yourself in this hypothetical situation, the last thing you want is your rope to stretch like gum on a hot day. You need a rope with "Static" properties! Meaning a rope that will stretch as little as possible and most importantly you need a rope with the superior strength that only a true life line should have, because you never know what end of it you may find yourself holding.
