I'm using double braid for dock lines, same issue
In Response To: I love my 8 plait for anchor rode it snags for dock lines ()
I think I'm going to convert some of my now-retired 3-strand 5/8" rode for storm dock lines and to use where we need to tie up to pilings. I think two 35-footers and two 20-footers with spliced 12" loops in one end might come in handy.

- First Yale brait splice

- Looks like a nice job!
- Thanks David
- You make a compelling arguement!
- What you wrote is very reason I switched from 3-strand
- Nice work. I have a small boat hook for my nylon rode.
- I will be curious as to how you find it in regards to snagging...
- It's a much softer lay, and is likely more vulnerable to that
