Need to respool my lines and down to these two. Which has the least amount of stretch? It was going to be the tech black but just seem how highly the gt hd is regarded in another thread further down the page. Ive used gr60 and currently have gt80+ on but need to respool.

Not used HD

15lb Technium can be quite wiry but almost unbreakable

12lb Technium is a beast of its own and behaves much better

I've had 15lb Technium Black on my reels since Catana was scrapped.
Tried a few others during that time, but soon end up back on Tech.
