The 12lb syncro breaks at 15.75lb and the 15lb at 21.75lb according to the tackle box line tests

That's perfect. The waters I fish are very weedy, lots of bars and zebras. A bit of extra breaking strain never hurts!


Edit: I just had a quick look on Amazon. Some of the XT has green packaging and some is Black. Is there a difference in the product?

I've been using the 15lb version at Ashmead for years and never had an issue and I cannot imagine a weediest water. Landed fish through some very tense battles in the weed. Whilst I will never be a huge caster I can hit 120 yards with the 15lb straight through (not that I need to fish that distance but that's what I get when practicing my casting).

The black/orange packaging is the loaded version, the green packaging is the normal XT and is the better line

Black is older design packaging

I am on Gardner HydroTuff in 15lb it's a. 0.38mm diameter very strong and abrasion resistant and casts reasonably well my water gets weedy so went for the 0.38mm
The 12lb version has a diameter of0.35mm so expect that to be a Bette long range line
