Anymore reviews. People seem to favour the xt over loaded. I'm currently using technium but everywhere's our of stock or asking silly money so looking at the xt as an option

Im struggling with my Syncro. For whatever reason the last 12ft is always extremely curly and i cant figure out why.

Followed their instructions re loading?

I loaded mine up in 10lb and then lock down happened, since then the weeds come up so I got one session out of it, first impressions are good though.

used both and they are both excellent also it lasts/ retains knot strength for ages unlike technium.Seems to get better when its been on the reel a few sessions .Yes sometimes you have to strip a few yards off occasionally as with all lines because it is often in contact with the bottom and suffers the worst twist

Been using the loaded version for several years and very happy with it. About to spool up with the normal version tonight just to see how they compare (read many reports suggesting the normal version is superior to the loaded so thought I would try)

It's better all round. It's all I've been using (apart from a brief forray per another thread I created a few weeks back). In all.honesty I can't fault the XT, it casts better than the loaded, sinks well and very abrasion resistant.

The synchro xt being reviewed pre 2024 is not the same as the xt you will buy now. It has changed.
Are you sure?
