Thanks Tony, I appreciate that! But don't worry I'll give the local a call again and see what he has got coming in

Strange that as the tackle box line tests have the measured diameter as identical (0.35) with the stated diameters being 0.37 and 0.38.
Have a feel of Korda subline in 15lb to see some proper towrope
When I tried it on the Trent I actually had to use bigger leads to hold bottom due to the pressure on the thicker line

I measured some 15lb CM90 with calipers and double checked with a micrometer, and found it matched the diameter stated on the spool rather than the Tackle box measurements.

I think there may have been some variations with batches as when I used it a couple of years ago I found it lovely and supple, but the abrasion resistance wasn't good at all

Maybe I got a bad batch,I was shocked at how bad it was.It was very strong and very good with abrasion resistance but other than that I did not rate it at all

I agree i have had 3 or 4 spools of the 15lb cm90 each spool has either measured 0.38 or 0.39 measured with a calibrated micrometer.
Another one of the tacklebox tests i have found different is the 15lb esp syncro xt the stated diameter is 0.37mm the tackle box say 0.35. the spool of 15lb that was on my reels last year measures 0.37 and the new spool i have got to replace it with is also 0.37mm
As a comparison between the two i think the cm90 is tougher sinks better but doesn't cast as well as the syncro

What B.S do you go for Pal ? I like the 12 but it's goes horrible after a fish, have to strip a rod length off every time, never seen twist like it

Never had a problem with it (Never had a twist on the Cm90 either) , are you sure you're not doing anything wrong and the line is spooled correctly?
There are more who went from Cm90 to Tochdown and like the Tochdown more and dont have these problems.

Ive seen a lot of lines go twisty/coily in the last rod length after landing fish touchdown, syncro, cm90 included a lot of the time that i have seen its after it has been in contact with weed during the fight, that may be one reason.

Not using your reel correctly and not letting your rod do its job during a fish fight is the nr1 cause of line twist
Shimano technicum black was the only one where I suffered from line twist (it twist even without a fish fight just by casting) with the Cm90 and TouchDown never had any problem. (last year i fished alot on weedy waters)

In one of the early korda videos when danny was was using the touchdown he even recommended cutting the touchdown back after catching fish as he was suffering the same mentioned problems, incidentally it is not like the traditional line twist people comment on its more like the line has been damaged.
I know i have had it on certain venues where i am not getting any line twist yet only after catching fish and also never use the clutch to play fish
