If you guys like the Loaded you'll love the XT - It's up there with the best all-rounders imo.

I used the synchro XT for a Belgium canal trip due to not being able to pick up any GR60, well all I can say is the lines brutally strong, I got picked up by a 600 tonne barge (came through fully loaded scrapping the bottom) and I had no choice but to pull for a break as it was spooling me! After managing to pull free thankfully I inspected the line and to say it was savagely damaged is an understatement, I decided to test its strength out of curiosity, got my mate to wrap it around his arm and I did the same and we were trying our best to break it! We couldn't! The syncro XT is immensely strong and reliable.

Been speaking to one of the ESP bosses lately and the only difference between Syncro XT and XT Loaded is the colour.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Different pigments have a big influence on the behaviour of lines. As can be seen from the numerous posts below.

Odd statement as for their own stated breaking strains they aren't even the same diameter.

I have used loaded for a few years and happy with it but having read these post I will probably give the xt a go for the coming season

Colour and coating apparently, and as we know, coatings make a significant difference. I'm considering this line so have been doing my homework

I've used both and agree the XT is the better of the two.

I've been using XT for a couple of years and cant fault it. My Son had spooled up with Loaded but it appeared less supple and quite springy. after a few sessions he respooled with XT. If it is only the coating that is different it makes a significant difference.

Cheers mate,

What breaking strains are people using? Iv used 15 and found it doesn't sink that's well. Super tough though
