Morning all,

I will be looking to purchase a set of Okuma Obsidian soon and i am looking to load it with the following mainline:

https://thinkinganglers.com/portfolio/ogx-copolymer-main-line/

OGX Copolymer mainline.

Does anyone on here have any experience with it?

So far i have used:
Daiwa Sensor (years ago)
Maxima Chameleon
Gardner GTHD 12lb
Gardner GTHD 15lb
Berkley CM90 16lb (currently using on my INC-6000)

The gardner line i think has been my favourite although it has more stretch than the berkley. The berkely has served me well but it does have a memory, especially if you leave your gear in a hot car during the day, get the rods out on the following morning which is cold, you will have a lovely coil for a number of casts.

Thanks,

Daniel

Used it for two sessions and stripped it straight off my reels.I went back to ESP Syncro xt,the TA line went into a massive birds nest on a cast more than once

I switched from CM90 to Korda touchdown 3 years ago and have not regretted it for a moment.

I've been using it for over a year and been impressed with it, mainly in the 15lb but used the 20lb in france on a very weedy water and landed my pb over 70lb with no drama's, each to their own but i hated esp syncro which was fine for a couple of sessions then coiled worse than any line i've used.

Ever heard that phrase "quality over quantity"?
