I can't see the advantage to using the fishing line at all, it's just much harder to attach and cut, sprue can be stretched just as thinly, and personally I find it easier to attach and remove waste. Sorry but I'll be sticking to the sprue method, works for me personally.

Sprue is great, but it has two major disadvantages. First - it's hard to make multiple pieces all the exact same size. (In 1/700 a millimeter is a chasm) Secondly, it is extremely fragile. The caenis thread I've recently started using requires a different method of installation, but once you figure it out, is much easier to use. All the pieces are the same size and the thread will not break (or at least won't break until long after the model does).
