Anyone have any experience with this line. In particular in comparison to synchro xt.

Have no issues with the synchro, but often have to go out in the boat of a night so the glow would be beneficial, but does this only work under uv light or does a normal headtorch give any benefit.

Also, its obviously bright green. How does this look on the bottom of a lake?

Tried it in the smallest diameter on a local pond some years back, found it to be fairly stretchy, however never had any issues with it, I assume it's the same one I used that's dayglo green and black throughout it's length, certainly didn't stop the fish biting👍

Sounds like the same one mate.

Its says in the blurb that its low stretch which was one of the plus points for me over the synchro. Wonder if theyve changed it recently then or their claims of low stretch arent what would be considered low stretch compared to other lines.

I considered it had significantly more stretch than the CM90 I use

So ive given this line a go. First impression were good, spooled up well, didnt try and spring off the spools.

Used it a couple of times now. It behaves pretty well, apart from the business end. It seems to go all over the place towards the rig. Ive had to pull a fair bit of weed in which hs probably caused it. But it is stretchy, certainly not low stretch, when compared to the syncro, its pretty similar. Casts ok.

Ill be going back to syncro sooner rather than later by the looks of it. Promised a lot, but doesnt deliver anything over the syncro in some ways, and isnt as good in the others. The syncro is also far easier to get hold of.
