I tried to keep my spending to a minimum as well, and have been using a piece of 1" dowel rod and a pocket knife I had to make some lures. I spent a little money on eye bolts at our hardware store, and some hooks and split rings to complete the lures. Actually, I think I spent the most money on the couple of cans of paint I have been using.
I don't see the need to go out and buy a kit for things I can pick up cheap or already have laying around the house. You will need a little sandpaper as well, but I have that laying around from other projects.

I too prefer a dowel rod but I use a grinder with sanding discs to form baits, a belt sander is good too.
a double taper propbait is best the same from center to front or back

Old broomsticks & mop handles. Can't get much cheaper material.
