I’m a massive fan of shimano tech but couldn’t get any so given the synchro a try. I still prefer the tech but this is a close second

I will second this, for the time I have used it I have found it is a great line, casts well, sinks well and from what ive heard has good abrasion resistance and knot strength. What else could you want from a line?

ESP
IMHO is probably the best all round line since Shimano Catana

If you have another spool of the reel your putting your line on then a neat trick is to reel on as much line you think you'll need onto the spool, then cut off and tie a simple back to back grinner (it doesn't really matter anyways as you should judge it to have a little line over from what you think you'll use jus in case) and then wind on the backing until it reaches the spool lip. Then cut off and then reel on the line from the spool onto an empty spool on the same reel and you should have the perfect amount of backing and fishing line. Hope this helps.

Yeah something like that. Do you mean tie the backing to the mainline? If so then a back to back grinner knot is good

Nice one. Do I just put the backing line on the spool as I would with normal line but stop halfway up the spool? How do I tie the backing off? I watched a video on it ages ago but didn’t quite understand it.

Yes. Twice if you use backing line to start with so you only put 150m of your chosen line on each spool

Would 1000m do 2 6000 and 1 8000 size reels

The synchro is a lot more supple than the sensor. Easier to manage, and casts better.
Honestly - get the synchro in 15lb you wont be disappointed.

In what way is it superior? Do you rate synchro over CM90? I wish I could buy a bunch of these to try out but they all come in 1000m spools at £20 each! I would be bankrupt before long
