Thanks for that Yonny., I have to admit that I don't cast it as I drop the rigs from a rowing boat, but will be interested to see how it performs over time - not hat I catch anything so it doesn't really matter anyway!

I switched over this year from the loaded to the normal XT on the back of that thread, and whilst only used for one session I am almost converted. It did bed onto the reel easier and as Yonny pointed out, didn't coil as much therefore for me is a much more versatile line. I fished in close and had a brutal close quarters battle with a large common through weed and snags and the line stood up perfectly coming out of it virtually unscathed which amazed me. I had no issues with the Loaded version but initial impressions are the normal XT is a better all rounder

Can I ask do you use it naked or with tubing / leader of any kind.?

I found it XT an awesome line, just doesn't sink all that well. If I was looking for mono for casting distance it would be that

I used and loved Technium Black in 12lb and 15lb, but due to difficulty bin finding it I have moved the CM90. Seems good but still prefer the Technium.
Loaded RM 15lb in clear on spare spools but not used it yet.

I'm abusing ashima gangster strong.
It doesn't kink and it has a great abrasion resistance.
I'm buying the bulk spools of 6000m
Just perfect for me

I've been using techium black/invistitec for the last few years and see no reason to try anything else. Have never noticed it to be a great hindrance casting, behaves well and seems to have the best abrasion resistance of any mono I've used

I very rarely use it naked. My preference if rules allow os to use with a leadcore leader on a helicopter setup but I will use lead clips with tubing otherwise. I occasionally use it naked with a running lead setup using the Enterprise safety run rings

I rate CM90, it casts really well. It's the colour that has always worried me a little but I have done well on it.

Big fan of CM90 as my previous posts on here, great choice of Mono.

ESP Synchro XT normal not loaded !
and is a brilliant line incidentally XT stands for Extra tough

Ridgemonkey mono seems pretty decent plus it can fill 3 tourneys for around £12
