Korda Sub Line or Touch down?
I've been using Korda Carpline with no issues. I'm thinking of trying some of the higher spec on offer.
Any thoughts on the above?

If the Caroline is working for you, why change.
Also, why only Korda lines? Myself and others on here swear by esp syncro xt, not the loaded version. If used it in heavy weed, near pads etc, and not had any issues with it. Its I stood up to pike being wrapped up in it in he margins, and taken ver little, if any damage.
I won't be changing from it anytime soon, and only reason I would is if they sipped making it or if the quality dropped.

Hi mate - personally, and it is a personal thing, I didn't find the other two any better than Carpline, in fact I rate Carpline, does what it says on the tin! I would stick with Carpline, out of those three.

If Carpline works for you then why change it? The fish won't mind.
That said I did just change from Daiwa Sensor to Berkley CM90 Connect and think it's a definite improvement in terms of casting, sinking and suppleness.

I changed last year after 2 years using Berkley CM90 to Korda Touchdown i preff the Tpouchdown.
I changed from CM90 to Synchro XT after all the rave reviews on here, and now I am back on CM90 and never listening to anyone else's opinion on a mainline ever again.

Subline is terrible. Thick as towrope but poor abrasion resistance. I tried some on the tidal Trent last season when I couldn't get hold of CM90. 15lb, 0.40 diameter and it was coming back shredded on the rocks constantly, I had to cut off yards of line multiple times in a session. With CM90 I hardly ever have to.
Binned it and won't touch it again.

I found - in comparison to CM90 - it had a real tendency to "get frizzy" and so seemed to have quite high memory. It also felt less robust / prone to abrasive damage, was more stretchy and didn't seem to sink as well either.

I had the same opinion having used both. Had the CM90 when my local shop didn't have any ESP in stock, switched back to Synchro quickly
