I've been off the mono over a year, the get pro distance is catching me fish and I like it but it is seriously twisted and kinked, time to replace...
Any revolutionary products in the last year?
I hear tech black has gone for now
Definitely upped my catch rate during the day on pro distance instead of cm90 dunno if its the colour? Want something supple like cm90 tho. Was thinking maybe esp synchro xt loaded. Fishing close on intimate waters, so need a gd sinking line.

yea I used cm90 for 2 years, lovely behaved line but I'm sure the most see through type coloured lines get you more day time bites.
It might be time to try pb control in 24lb.. I've threatened it a few times.

Korda subline is good, v supple and made to sink.
The ridge monkey line isn't bad either. Even the .42 18lb line is extremely supple and its priced well which is refreshing from RM.
Have you tried a twistbuster to remove the twist? They work well.

I find any line gets bits stuck to it in the water and becomes visible - I use cm90 as I like the way it behaves and sinks.

I moved to Berkley CM90 this year after reading good reviews on here.
So far so good. Not had any wind knots or other issues yet.
Also read good things about esp synco loaded. Might give that a bash next year!!

For all my edge fishing for a while now it's been Gardner Pro Light Blend, generally only fish a maximum of 9ft out and have had no issues regarding fish and line, from very clear water to murky tea coloured it just keeps working.
If it's pretty clear of obstructions then the 12lb is lovely, this year had to step up to 15lb xm because of zebra mussels, it's quite wiry but is very tough.
A no nonsense line at the cheaper end of the scale, a spin doctor every so often keeps it in check.

If you go for the Synchro get the standard version, not the Loaded. It's mile better.
It sounds to me like you need a good reliable all-rounder. Hydro Tuff in the lower BS's is excellent but it might be worth checking out the bog standard Gardner Pro - it's a brilliant line.

Yes Gardner pro is a nice line I have used that in the past..
I think this is going to be between hydrotuff and pb control.
I have a minimum 15lb rule on syndicate although I know the 12 would be fine. It is 0.35 so same as the g Pro in 15.
If I went for pb control it would be 24lb version.

I'm a massive fan of the Tuff, use it in 12, 15 and 20 for different applications.

Recently switched to the technium invisitec in 15lb, was using the black in 12lb but found it difficult to see when wrapping etc. and impossible to see at night! It's a bitch getting old!
So far perfectly happy with the Invisitec, nice and supple and i can see when wrapping...

I have to admit I prefer the loaded version more than the original Synchro XT. What issues have you found with it?

The loaded is a decent line but it's less supply, takes a set (coiling), and doesn't deal with twist as well as the standard XT imo.
Just doesn't behave as well.
There was a thread about it:
