I got my last batch from Willy Worms. I would imagine a big influx of stock is due soon - I've noticed it seems to be hard to come by at the moment, but in the past it was readily available from most shops.

Has anybody tried Daiwa Tournament ST Monofil? I used it in lower strains a few years ago for feeder fishing and remember it being pretty good.
I thought I'd wrap it up for everybody:
ESP Syncro: used to be good, not anymore
Daiwa Technium: bad batches abound
Kaizen mono: only the 0.38 is good
Gardner GHTD (or something): gets brittle in sunlight very fast, not so abbrasion resistant
PB Hyd(b)ron: too expensive
So, what are we stuck with?

In the same boat (excuse the pun) 😀
I’ve just started using Thinking Anglers OGX in 15lb 0.35mm. I’ve put it on small reels as this exaggerates twist/coiling for quicker assessment. It’s going well so far. Only negative is that it takes a while to sink.
I’ve always used GR60 in 15lb but I wanted something that casts better.
Tried GTHD, lasted one session before removing it.

Get a small sweety bottle a few drops of washing up liquid and the water. The put it on the spools n leave for a few mins before you cast.
It will break down oils or the like from production and greases from the lake surface.
Used to do it all the time when waggler fishing at distance.

I used touchdown korda and soft steel fox years ago.
Shock leader on both casting seemed fine. But hit a fish and they just stretched for ever.
Both lines lasted one session. I think I'd have had more control fishing with 100mtrs of no 20 pole elastic.
That's when I changed to the sadly gone cm90.

My experience is pretty much the same as yours, used it up to 10lb on feeder rods but never above that on Carp rods.
Having used Daiwa Sensor since launch up until the last 2 refills I've no reason to think tournament won't be a good line.
Come to think of it, I'm going back to Sensor so I might give Tournament a go instead!

To anybody about to order those - I would double check with them over the phone or email first that it is actually in stock!
