Any improvements now are likely to be at best marginal. If someone truly comes out with a line that is transformative better then word of mouth will make that known very quickly.

If you have a line that you like, that has worked for how you fish, and your tackle then I would stick with it vs chasing something new.

I wasn't particularly impressed by the kaizen line. It took a long time to behave properly on the spool, so needs to be managed carefully whilst it beds in. By the end of the week it was ok.

Not too much stretch, and seems pretty tough. It does cast quite well for its diameter though.

For me, its not as tough as GR60, has more stretch than shimano technium and isnt as good overall as them or the original ESP syncro, but it's ok. Ive not used thinking angler line so can't compare

*edit, ive done a week using 15lb, and a week using 18lb. They behave quite similarly to me

Im looking to change my mainline in the next month or so and have been using Thinking Anglers OGX for a couple of years now.
Ive got no reason to look at an alternative mainline as I've been happy with the OGX but I have read and heard some good things about Korda's new Kaizen mainline and wondered if anyone had changed from OGX to Kaizen?
