On deep spools , I use the SOS 2# for backing , it’s cheap . Then spool on about 100 yards of the P-Line . Shallow spool reels work great with small diameter lines .
I bought some 4# Silver Thread before it was discontinued, but it’s wasn’t an40 and it’s not as thin and is a little stiffer . I think it was Excalibur.
Any Silver Thread you find now will be old stock .
Indoors , the 2# gives me a little trouble , putting it through rod guides and tying knots . But outside , in natural light , I do a lot better as long as my fingers are working properly that day .
But man will that stuff cast a jig .
