Available rodes include 5/8" and 3/4" three-strand and 1" Megabraid nylon.

And what is it you're tying
to these lines -- the bridle, i.e.?
The Icicle hitch was presented for tying relatively thin line onto a rigid object;
it has been adopted in a variation --loading both ends-- by some arborists (or
has been so advocated by some). Its finish looks less than reassuringly
secure, to me; one could tie a stopper knot in the end.
Another friction hitch to consider is Blake's Hitch, used by arborists to tie
like diameter rope to another.
