Strength for strength it is lighter than steel and there are no splinters. If you want to downsize and save weight in the Rig and on Deck then this lightweight line offers high strength with flexibility. Softer, more user friendly replacement for e.g. metal shackles, stainless steel wire in purchase/cascade systems. Specific gravity = 0.98 so this line will float, has zero water absorption and can be spliced very neatly and effectively.
