I know there's loads of previous line threads available but I'm struggling to decide so a bit of help would be appreciated. I want to replace the line on my 10ft rods. I currently have the old texhnium black in 12lbs and would say it's my favourite ever mainline but I'm aware they don't make it anymore so I'm in need of something new. The water I'll be using it on is fairly snaggy so I'm thinking of upping the bs to 15lb. I'd like it to sink well and not be too stretchy in order to feel the lead down. Casting is not really that important but I don't want it to be a pain in that regard. I'll know cm90 is well thought of as is the syncro xt but I'm torn.
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Cheers

I use cm90 in 15lb and am happy with it. It's a noticeable upgrade over the Daiwa Sensor line I was using before. Can't really compare besides that.

Have you considered x line?

CM90 is in a different league to Synchro IMO

I've used X-Line in 20lb in the past and found it a bit wirey for me tbh. Also I use ss2600's on my 10 ft rods and I'm not sure how fluro will behave on the smaller spools.

Does anyone know what the 12lb cm90 actually breaks at?

I like cm90. But for me nothing comes close to p-line extrusion. Seller on amazon/ebay ships from Poland.

Hmmm, that's irritating. I've ordered some cm90 now but I remember hearing that P-Line being raved about somewhere and completely forgot about it.
Does it cast well? (Not that I do much long casting)

Is Technium black not made anymore?

I'm a huge fan of techinium black but when I couldn't get hold of it anymore I went to synchro xt but I'll be honest it didn't even come close to the techinium, I got rid of it and Johnson ross sell a Shimano techinium line (black colour) for £25 a spool I bought a few of them and been testing it out, now don't no if it's the same as the techinium black I liked so much but it's very close to it if it's not I really like it

O. 305 is 12lb I believe, the 0.355 is 15lb.
