Guys and Girls

I am in need of some mono as a couple of my local lakes have banned braid.

Previously I used ESP Syncro and would again but have heard that it's recently changed and not for the better?

Can anyone confirm this and if so recommend an alternative. I was thinking TA OGX but happy to take opinions.

Cheers

Yet another mono thread

That's 35 in the last two months.
Will the answers be any different this time around

Apparently ESP changed the line some time ago according to an answer they made on Facebook. So now the regular XT is supposed to be the same as the much hated Loaded version apart from the colour. I spooled up with 12lb Syncro XT recently. Peg through the spool and into the lawn. I haven't had any issues at all so far.

My first post here....

I recently started using RM-Tec in 15lb and I am very surprised how good it is, it supple and sinks very very well...I highly recommend it.

Im on the new Korda line and so far very impressed,syncro is not a patch on what it used to be.The TA OGX is the only mono ive ever had birds nest on a cast on me,came off after one session.The korda line is definitely worth a look,it sinks and casts well and is very abrasion resistant
