I use some cordage on a few hooks. I can't think of why it would be a problem, except that you'll need to make sure that you've got a solid knot in it.

Buck up and get the right tools for the job. If half-inch tubular wigs you out, get the 9/16" stuff from Fish. If you're poor, thread one piece of 1/2" through another.
I'll second this. Webbing is the right stuff for the job.
