It seems to be thinner than some of the suggestions that you did not comment on. 65# Suffox 832 is larger diameter than 25# Sniper.

When it's wound in a circular fashion, it lays similar to flouro / mono. Try looking at braid in 8 carriers or more, that's round. Good examples: Daiwa J-Braid Grand Suffix 832 Pro Sunline XPlasma
