Did some more searching today while racking my brain over a lightweight option which holds knots. Found two products.
First of which is Lightning Rope in 7/64 at 2g a foot and holds 1400lbs.. Appears to be a similar wieght and bulk as spyderline, spyderline may be slightly lighter.
Second idea is 7/64 vectran which is 12 strand. I am mulling over the idea of ordering some, pulling the braid apart, and then doing an 8-strand or 6-strand round braid of the line. It holds 2000lbs and weighs about 2.5g per foot. I'm figuring a 25% reduction of strands would give ~1500lbs strength at ~1.8g/ft. 50% reduction of strands perhaps 1000lbs at 1.25g/foot. Alot of assumptions here though as the strength to strand relationship is quite possibly not linear.
Unfortunately I have not been able to find any 7/64 dia. of either product in anything but large spools so far.
