The fiber is named dyneema. It's also used for kite string. And a close relative is kevlar. You can't break 30 lb. test with your hands.

I like to see your work.

It isn't at all. It has the same properties as spider silk. It's flexible,thin,floats doesnt stretch and is ultra strong. I use it as fishing line. 60lb.test is the same diameter as 12 lb. monofilament line. I use that for jerking fish out of thick weeds and lilly pads.
