Anyone using this?
Looking at switching to this for this year and looking forward honest reviews.
Currently using gt80 in 15lb but looking at the 12lb rm tec for smaller less snaggy water.
Thanks
Chris

Its no worse than any other mono, and you get 1200m, but its not very well spooled on the bulk spool and had bits of fluff in it, very odd. I always use a cloth anyway to help spool it on. Performance wise worth the money thats for sure

When I looked at it when first released, it measured thicker than stated and still performed poorly in strength tests...

Sourced from China and to the lowest bidder, like a lot of RM's products... avoid.

Same as, I use figure of 8 knots and tested it in the 12 and 15lb both broke below stated strain, granted it was only my diy test. Went up my local shop and all the guys recommend and use ESP Syncro XT, I bought the 15ib and in my same test it consistently snapped at 18lb! And slightly thinner than stated, I'm sure it was 0.33mm not 0.37mm as shown.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
