I have tried some rope similar to the above (readily available in the UK from hardware outlets, usually light blue in colour and often used by truckers) but I found it rather floppy & tended to snag/knot more that I was comfortable with

Then you probably bought the wrong stuff, as I wrote, you have to get the cheaper stuff with the big strands,
look here:
Both have the same diameter, but the right rope has finer strands and resists 240kg, but will mess up all the time, cause it is not stiff enough. The left rope is the right rope, 3 main strands, easy to splice and 90 kg braking-strain is more then enough, if you not shooting record tuna above 100 kgs
An Australian friend using similar stuff, but only in 4 or 5 mm, good enough for fishes up to 10-20 kg he says.
He never lost a gun with this kind of rope .
