Stil using Berkley Big Game line for carp fishing. However I am very impressed with the Drennan Specimen XT Camo line that I have been using for Barbel fishing. I may switch to that for carp fishing as well.

ESP Synchro. Was using the loaded version for a few years and was happy, switched to the normal last year (as shop didn't have the loaded) and it has similar characteristics but seems to behave a little better on the spool so will be sticking with that

CM90 here too. Been using it on the Tidal Trent that is full of rocks and requires leads up to 8oz with PVA bags as well. Not had a break yet.

What's the esp syncro xt like buddy? Been using shimano techinium black for years but seems to be harder and harder to get plus fancy a change, seen this is very popular so thought I'd give it a go

Someone who has used Berkley CM90 and Esp Syncro XT and can compare both?

I've used both and liked both. Syncro is my favourite as it seems more durable. Cm90 is more supple and the only thing I didn't like was the colour.
Both very good lines. As is shimano technium black , pro distance and gold. I'd happily use any of them lines.
One I wouldn't use again is fox trans khaki , snapped like cotton.

Also used both and don't dislike CM90 just prefer Synchro. Feel it is a slightly better all round line although do have 18lb CM90 on my spare spools and wouldn't have any issues in using

Syncro xt is a great line mate. Ive been through loads of lines over the years and the syncro is well uo there. I have 12lb on one set of rods, 15 on the other, also used 18 but found that over kill and the 15 was more than sufficient. decent abrasion resistance in the real world, not sure what tackle box tests say though. Had fish into reeds, round snags, always been ok, only one cut off and that i believe was on mussels in weed. I fish naked helicopter rigs aswel, so its straight through. Low memory, casts really well, and behaves on the spool once its bedded in.
The loaded was more wirey and didnt behave anywhere near aswell. Not a massive fan of sinking lines though, but the normal xt does sink a bit, but not over the top.

Perfect thank you for the reply mate definitely going to give it a go come January been looking for a proper decent line that a few people can recommend, a lot of people seem to like it and thanks to your comment it seems perfect 👍
