Was the store out of cm90? Lol
Touchdown is decent but you do have to cut the last couple metres off after every session as it gets chewed up

No they had from 0.30, 0.34 and 0.40 around +10 boxes each
The did tell me that you have to spool up Korda Touchdown 100% correctly (with many it kinks due to incorrect spooling), he will do that for me next Monday, If I don't like Touchdown I will go back to CM90.

Daiwa Justron in fluro yellow, 16lb, but also bought it in black and (another set in fluro yellow) at 20lb
Very strong, low stretch, sinks well, can't comment on abrasion yet, but very impressed for the price.

I've noticed not many going for the ESP synchro xt ‘loaded' . Is the standard xt that much better and in what way , thanks .

Thanks Yonny . What's the colour like and does it sink as well as the loaded as reading the descriptions would suggest the loaded sinks better , thanks .

It does sink better but it's not worth the pay off of coiling etc.
Colour is decent on both.

Thats rubbish.. its always the last couple of meters that gets kinked and buggered after every session, shame as otherwise I really liked it. That would have nothing to do with spooling up, the rest of the spool stays fine. Try it, might be different for you. This does happen with most lines to be honest (except cm90)

You sure it's not down to you fishing over bars as to the reason for the knicks out of the line? Can't see any other reason for it. Can't see the line getting knicks in it if the place you were fishing was smooth all over.
Found the 20lb touchdown to be very good and casts very well having got some big distances with it considering its 0.43mm. Not had the problems you've mentioned, although I have had a few knicks on the line, though that would be due to some savage bars and zebra's in my place. All in all, I've been very impressed with Touchdown, so much so I've re-spooled with it again, and I'm very fussy with my lines in how they behave and would soon enough nuts it off if it was pap.

Me and a mate had the exact same problem with touchdown in both 12 and 15lb strains, every session or 2 the last couple of meters were knackered, that's fishing to a far bank margin most of the time with no snags, otherwise it's a superb line, very strong and sinks really well, he still uses it but it was annoying me lol, I'm on syncro xt now and it's bullet proof but it does coil up on the spool abit, although I'm using it on emcast 25 reels so that could be why. Have technium black on the spare spools, best line I've used, but been fishing a really snaggy little lake so gone with the syncro, made for the job 👍

Surely it would have to rub on something for it to do this, otherwise, wouldn't all the line be like this?
Now you've got me thinking. Had an odd one a month ago fishing a shallow silty lake. Was fishing a chod and 4oz lead at range, reeled in and the line just parted. I assumed that there must have been some muscle shell or some such in the lakebed why that happened or I'd missed some knick in the line that had weakened it. Hmm.
