I tought Dyneema and Spectra was the same fibres, just different marketing names in the US and Europe?

We have used dyneema bridles for the spi pole bridle the last three years, no problems yet. Just need to make sure that you make the loops correctly. Either by splicing or threading back inside itself with a knot at the end and a small whipping (John, please dont.. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ).
