I’ve gone back to Gardner Pro Dark Blend now. Gave up with Synchro when it changed, couldn’t get on with Kaizen at all and Sensor seems to be like gold dust and the stupid nicks on the bottom of the spools really p1ss me off lol 😂

Wish I'd seen this thread a couple of weeks ago, I've used Syncro for years and bought some more 15lb recently to re-do the reels and wondered if I'd done something wrong.
Doesn't sit on the spools properly, added to that I had one break on the cast and another on a fish - didn't know why at the weekend but will be stripping it off before my next trip.
Now need to decide what to go for instead, the TA OGX looks interesting, but other than that it's between the hyper sensor or the fox exocet.
Any suggestions?

Anyone know the best place to buy technium in 12lb ? I’m going to get some for my all round fishing where no weed and snags. I’ve tried the ogx in 18lb and that’s just as bad as the last spool of gthd I bought.

Maybe the 15 wasn't affected by whatever the problem was, bargain if that's the case 👍

Its my understanding that it went cr*p when they decided to change the XT formula to the XT loaded formula (the 'faster sinking variant' which was always springy and horrible) and sell it with XT packaging, the only point of difference now being line colour . . .maybe they sold more Loaded to noobs etc and it was a marketing decision. . . . .who knows?!

When did it go crap lads? I've got an unused spool of 12lb which I may have to throw away!!

I had a similar experience with xt in 15lb. I even tried gardner fluro lube on it and it would be ok for the 1st few casts, then back to coiling again. I'm back on Exocet pro in 18lb and not sure why I changed in the 1st place!

I stuck a spool of Gardner GR60 on instead. After a few seasions I decided that I genuinely still rate it

I've checked a spool of the 15lb earlier and it seems absolutely fine 🤞🏻

I agree it was brilliant, one of my spools has gone a but twisted, I thought I could just renew it.

Yep, never looked anywhere else for years, was a great line, ridiculous decision to change it, ruined.

Synchro XT . . .RIP
PB Hybron (if you're feeling flush) or TA OGX is the way forward . . .

What breaking strain did you buy? I've got 12 and 15lb, but only want to use the 15lb for now.
