Korda Sub Line or Touch down?
I've been using Korda Carpline with no issues. I'm thinking of trying some of the higher spec on offer.
Any thoughts on the above?

If the Caroline is working for you, why change.
Also, why only Korda lines? Myself and others on here swear by esp syncro xt, not the loaded version. If used it in heavy weed, near pads etc, and not had any issues with it. Its I stood up to pike being wrapped up in it in he margins, and taken ver little, if any damage.
I won't be changing from it anytime soon, and only reason I would is if they sipped making it or if the quality dropped.

Hi mate - personally, and it is a personal thing, I didn't find the other two any better than Carpline, in fact I rate Carpline, does what it says on the tin! I would stick with Carpline, out of those three.

If Carpline works for you then why change it? The fish won't mind.
That said I did just change from Daiwa Sensor to Berkley CM90 Connect and think it's a definite improvement in terms of casting, sinking and suppleness.

I changed last year after 2 years using Berkley CM90 to Korda Touchdown i preff the Tpouchdown.
I changed from CM90 to Synchro XT after all the rave reviews on here, and now I am back on CM90 and never listening to anyone else's opinion on a mainline ever again.

Subline is terrible. Thick as towrope but poor abrasion resistance. I tried some on the tidal Trent last season when I couldn't get hold of CM90. 15lb, 0.40 diameter and it was coming back shredded on the rocks constantly, I had to cut off yards of line multiple times in a session. With CM90 I hardly ever have to.
Binned it and won't touch it again.

I found - in comparison to CM90 - it had a real tendency to "get frizzy" and so seemed to have quite high memory. It also felt less robust / prone to abrasive damage, was more stretchy and didn't seem to sink as well either.

I had the same opinion having used both. Had the CM90 when my local shop didn't have any ESP in stock, switched back to Synchro quickly

i've been using the thinking anglers line in 18lb, really like it so far. my issue I found with esp syncro is it becomes very wirey after some usage, nothing a wet sweat band on the spool doesn't fix though

I've put many a bait up in the trees over the years. Never had a run from there yet.😄

Just as well because the line would behave terribly by all accounts

I went onto synchro after seeing a lot rave about it on here but it coils up too easily
Now,Nash Bullet mono or possibly GTHD maybe next

Many thanks to you all for replying.
It's great to see this forum still going so strong.
So I'm none the wiser

For God's sake don't ask for the best bait.

Used both.
Get TouchDown.
Sinks better and a far less lot stretch.
Subline is VERY stretchy.

I've used ESP Syncro XT for ages and I love it
I've also been using the Thinking Anglers new line in 0.35 and I really like that too.

I went from Shimano techinium black to synchro xt last year when I couldn't find any Shimano around I found it very bad with memory and felt like wire a lot of the time, I managed to get hold of 6 spools of Shimano techinium black in 15lb a few weeks back so got rid of the esp and went back to my favourite line the Shimano haven't had a problem since
