What's your take on Spyderline?

[jaydweight]

So I need to 'up' my suspension idea. I've been asking around about ring buckle supports, ridgelines, etc. I am new to hammocking and want to learn about Spyderline. I want to get some, but want to learn more about it. I know it's super strong and light weight, I would need something really strong because I'm a big man. I need something light. Where's the best place to get it? What size? I'm thinking maybe the 3.8 spool of $50 from APS for $20.01. Is that a good product and buy? Let me know.

Also where could I get some good ring buckles for my support?

That is some very large line, Amsteel 7/64 that I have in my store is rated to 1500 pounds and will be about 1/2 that size. I also have some of the lightest rings around in a variety of colors.

Yeah.....what Paul said! Spyderline is nice, but heavy compared to other and better alternative. I would suggest browsing through Paul's store. Reasonably priced, and great customer service. You can't beat that! (unsolicited comment by a past, current and future customer and fellow hanger)

Some have said that the Amsteel is difficult to tie knots with, is that true?
And your store says it is out of stock, when will you be getting some more?

I have heard some say it's slippery too with the ring buckle system. That's why I wanted spyderline.

It's not hard to tie knots with, they just don't hold well in most cases. Splicing is much better choice for most applications and is pretty easy to do once you try. Some knots will hold very well if tied properly.

More is scheduled to arrive today or tomorrow, just updated the inventory.

I'm interested in doing a ring buckle system. Will the amsteel in a turkshead do alright? And how much for shipping from your sight? I would be getting one length of the amsteel (that's 25' right?) plus four rings.

Okay Paul I went and did it. I ordered the amsteel from you as well as 2 pairs of rings. I'm way excited, thanks! How soon could I expect it? I'm in Utah.

I don't see a reason it would not work in a turks, but not sure how you would use that for a suspension? It's a decorative knot, right

PM headed your way.
