To you guys that are planning to use 8 plait.... Good luck on the eye splice to chain. I was a Boatswain Mate in the Navy. I can splice 3 strand pretty much in my sleep. The 8 plait rope to chain eat me alive. I had the utube humming on how to and it took me about 3 hours for one "simple" splice.

I love the rode, does not tangle, not stiff, great stuff but a real bitch to splice.
