Currently using 15lb Korda carp line, bought this as was recommended as a decent all round line. Noticed yesterday it's ready for a change. What do people recommend I go for? Cheers 👍🏽

Another vote for ESP Syncro XT IMHO its possibly the best all round line available at the moment

((not the loaded version))

Would a 1000m spool do 3 daiwa crosscasts? I'm crap at working all that stuff out 😫

Easily, if you leave some of your old stuff on as backing.

Don't over complicate buddy.
Just checked and the Crosscast takes 300m of 15 lb line so you should be able to fill them without any backing.

Nice one Yonny thanks for that 👍🏽 I wasn't sure if I filled them with one spool last time or not.

From recent experience I found using 1000m spool of Korda 15lb sub line that it would fill 3 crosscast spools if I left at least a 2-3mm lip on the spool. First time out I left just a slight lip and the 3rd spool came up short. If you are happy with a 2-3mm lip then no probs. Personally I would put a bit of backing on to be sure as all lines vary a bit. A bit of insurance never hurts.

What do you want the line to do eg long range no snags ,
Are you sure?
