Does anyone have an idea how much stretch cm90 has
Does anyone have an idea how much stretch cm90 has
Just started using the syncro xt and seems to be ok, I've had 11 fish on it and did loose one to a snap off, rubbed against a root on a island, pretty sure the technium would have handled it better, Also it states 0.037 but feels thinner to me. but seems like a ok line. Think when I next re spool it'll be technium again. You really can't beat it

Ashima's gangster strong comes close to the black technium when we talk about stretch. Would you rate cm90 more low stretch than these two?

I tried it for a period a while ago, alongside ProGold and Touchdown.
ProGold had the least stretch, CM90 had the most.
Touchdown was in the middle somewhat.
I woudn't call CM90 low stretch but's it's pretty good compared to most monos.
CM90 and Touchdown were more supple (relatively! it's mono afterall) , Progold more wirey.
Progold sunk the best., and the toughest.
I saw Subgold mentioned in thisthread.
Yikes, the stuff is like elastic! MAssive stretch.
The trouble with these line threads is you get people recommend a line, yet they haven't compared it to anything else, and they assume it has the best properties 'cause it feels to them.
Quite frankly most of the line threads on this forum are a complete waste of time.
You just get people recommending what they use and they have no idea of the properties of what they are using.
You have to compare a few before you post and note it.

I have also tried a few lines in my time
(check previous threads)
Just wondered if there was an wonder line thats come into light the past year or so, (which there never is, just the same recycled or tweaked) also wondered what had happened to technium...
I want a bit of a workhorse line, don't need to cast too far, needs to be tough, and not get all twisted up so hydro tuff 15lb fits the bill.. arrived today, looks nice off the spool. What reminded me of this line was fishing with my father in law last weekend and I was helping him out as he doesn't fish that often.
I was really impressed with the line he was using and had to try to remember what it was as I recommended it to him about 2 years ago out of what they had in the tackle shop (he hasn't been fishing for a long time)

Hmm mm... started spooling it up and noticed any kinks stay kinked.. tying knots pigtailed badly.. not happy with it so took it off.
Pro distance is catching me fish, sinks like a brick good colour, but it seems to get absolutely twisted to hell..
I want to go back to cm90 but worried about the colour... hmm...
Syncro loaded fits the bill, I had a cut off when I first used it and took it straight off all reels, had a small bit left which i put on my sons spool and it actually seems very gd.. it does get very twisted but not in the wavy sense, if you let it hang from the rod you can see it unwitting itself spinning in circles.. berkley.. a clear tinted version of cm90 is required! Come on you will sell it by the truck full!! Maybe synchro xt but it doesn't sink great 🤔

Is the cm70 really supple like cm90?

Interesting about the CM90, I'm on the Trent which is low and clear and I can't buy a bite in the daytime, not a single one in 9 days this season. I had 20-odd fish last weekend (Barbel, Bream, Chub and Carp) and every one was between 9pm and 5am.
I've got Korda contour fluorocarbon on a spool now and I'm going to give that a try on one rod for the foreseeable future and see how it goes. Of course, it could just be that they're not confident feeding in the daytime due to the clear water, but the odd one has been coming out to others.
I do really like the CM90 though. It's rocky as hell where I'm fishing and I can literally feel the line grating when I'm playing fish, only once has the line been damaged and even then it didn't break.
