Plenty of info on here i know but....it's the sinking properties I am interested in. does the CM90 sink quickly and does it then stay down?

yes - not like pure flouro - but if you keep feeding slack and there is no big tow, you will feel like u are peeling it off the bottom when picking up the rod.

Agree with Adam, loved using it and found it very supple but it's not the best casting line as it is slightly heavier than lines of same diameter which is why it sinks so well, unfortunately my shop no longer stocks it.

I've just switched to this line after hearing great things. Only done the one session on it but been impressed so far. Casts and sinks well.

It's tough as nails as well, I use it on the tidal Trent and very rarely have to strip line off due to damage - I tried Korda Subline last season as I couldn't get CM90, I took it off after 1 session. 0.40 for 15lb so thick diameter, yet it was shredded constantly and I had to cut lengths of line of several times in one session.

I'm still using the CM90 now, just reversed the line on the spools from last season and hopefully can pick up some more 15lb at some stage.

It has all the good features that Cm90 also has, but is less stiff and casts a little better in my experience.

After years of using Shimano Technium the CM90 was a blessing it's a damn good line but the Korde has just that little bit more and damn strong on the knot
