Just to note, if you're putting this line above deck, Spectra doesn't like UV. It breaks down in a couple of years (not disintegrating but getting stiff and "brittle") with consistent exposure to UV light. If you're planning to use this, I'd recommend putting it under-deck unless you want to replace it often.

Please note, my experience is from rock-climbing equipment made from spectra.
