I have just spooled up with 15lb syncro xt today and only bought the spool last week and its exactly the same as all the other spools ive bought. Cant fault the stuff, its brilliant line.

Sorry badly worded

I meant the loaded version (newer) isnt has highly rated as the normal version,seen a few comments saying loaded suffers badly with twist.

Synchro XT or good old GR60. Can't go wrong with either.

Used loads of different mono's over the years and thought I'd give Nash Bullet a try for the first time and I'm liking it

Another vote for syncro XT, add a touch of the gardner line treatment to it ever few sessions, and its an absolute game changer

I used Daiwa Sensor for many years before swapping over to the ESP synchro XT which is a superb line. However, I struggled to get hold of some a little while back and ended up getting the Fox EOS in 20lb and I cannot fault it. Strong, amazing abrasion resistance, low diameter, nice colour and cheap at £9 a spool. I cannot see any reason to go back to the XT when this does exactly the same job and is half the price!

I guess like everyone Ive used loads of lines over the years. I was using GT-HD in 12lb that I very happy with, but a rule change meant that I had to stop using it. So I switched on to the Korda Touchdown for last season and I really dont like it at all. Im going to strip it off and was going to go back to the GT-HD but seeing as the SyncXT seems to be getting such good feedback, I might give that a go instead.

Does it break at around the stated amount? Is it over or under rated?
What does it behave like? Does it sink well, is it a casting line? etc
Whats it like for coiling once its been on a while?

I know nothing about it. Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Brillaint line. I use 12 for almost all my fishing. Got the 12lb to 160 yards on 12ft rods with shock leaders. 15lb is bullet proof, defiantly breaks over the rated strain.

I've never had an issue or a bad batch. Casts and sinks well.

Use TouchDown for most of my fishing (70yrds max. ), but when it comes to longer casting, forget it.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
