Try your local hobby shop - the kind that caters to model railroad and 
airplane folks.

If that fails, Small Parts, Inc. will have it:

http://www.smallparts.com/

They have threaded and moly lubricted (but not smooth) nylon.  Also Delrin 
and phenolic linen filled, all generally less than $2 a foot.  Polyimide is 
$22 an inch.

I suggest an email to them asking for smooth nylon rod.

MSC has black nylon rod for $0.57 for a foot long length:
