Have you still not settled on a line. You seem to massively rate a line then week later your looking for something else 🤦🏼‍♂️

I highly rate the technium black and invisitec - very abrasiom resistance, low stretch, sinks wepl enough and never had any issues with it for casting, although I generally only fish fairly short range.

Thats a little harsh.. i was talking about hydro tuff last week as it looked gd on my father in laws spools (I thought it was hydro tuff) and I bought some and started spooling it but it would get a kink in it and the kink would not come out, I actually managed to get it tangled spooling it which I have never ever done before and when tying a palmar knot it pig tailed horrendously so I don't know if it was the line my father in law was using?
Cm90 I used for 2 yrs straight excellent line, dpesnt twist, sinks well, knots well, my only concern in the colour, the water i am fishing in gin clear.
Glt Pro distance i also recommended and currently using. It works well , catches fish, is tough, sinks very very well BUT the line is absolutely twisted to f* on all rods its like my mrs when she puts curls in. The lake owner said to me yesterday after I caught a fish how bad it was an i would need to cut that section off, i explained its like that all the way through.

Anyway..
I know esp sncro xt is excellent my only concern is it doesn't sink great.. was thinking loaded but been told bad things.. so invisitec came up.. I have seen it before but can't remember exactly what it was like.. i remember it being more wiry than tech black. I seen it on sale for £9.99 which is why I am asking.

oh just seen your post in the best mono thread.. you must see where I'm coming from as your saying your swapping back to technium after using scyncro.. line is a minefield.

the jack pike love invistec in a shallow margin with a bit of sun on it. Because of its pearlescent appearance it obviously glints in the water i have had several bite offs when using it.

Read a few other guys have on here too

Suprised at that syncro sinks really well for me in 15lb. Same with pro distance never had bad twists with this line but I've only tried the 12lb version.

I've gone over to synchro from technium black as the black was getting hard to get. Synchro is a decent line but not a touch on technium for abrasion
