Would this work with the newer spools? Not sure why they all went down the wagon wheel route tbf

I now use a 4 pint milk carton with a bolt through it
Cut the top of the carton so you can get the spool in easy
Then fill it with water .
Stops the over run on the spool as well as keeping it wet when loading
My “proper” spool loader is now hanging up in the shed

I’ve spooled hundreds of reels and never had the line twisted so badly as with the Syncro last year. Nothing to do with the method (which was exactly as ESP say to do it in their video). There obviously an issue with it, or at least some batches, as I’m not the only one.

Well, I've been a great fan of the xt for years now, used nothing else, how utterly ridiculous if they've now changed it...for the worse.
Think I'll keep last year's line on for a while, it's all good, I'm only a part time carper these days.

I think I'll go back to the relaunched shimano technium black.

Lets hope not cause the loaded behaved terribly compared to the xt

Could this be the problem? after reading the thread I remember seeing esp say this on Instagram a while back.

Thought it was just me but reading this looks like other people having the same problems too ! I’ve used syncro for a while and never had issues with it. Re spooled about a month back and the line just will not settle on my reels. Soon as there is no tension on the line it just jumps off the spool. I’m considering taking a good bit off and see what it’s like then because it’s good line. Anybody got any other recommendations for line that’s tough enough to fish around weed but will cast 100 yards ? Thinking I might try touchdown again if this doesn’t settle down.
