Synco xt line or korda touchdown.

Have a look at the true line stats on the tackle box line test pdf.

I fish a very weedy snaggy estate lake full of mussels & packed with lilly beds. I agree with Belch that the kontour in 18lb is good stuff.

If your not casting then the higher the diameter the better for abrasion - if you want a lower dia than mono but with equal if not better resistance then fluro - 18lb Korda Kontour in 0.38 is like tow rope / the 15lb in 0.35 is also pretty tough - both cast like s**t however . .

I also fish on a syndicaat lake since this year 400m x 500m, forgot to post i in op.
Btw, on one of the canals you fish out to max 150 meters because it is connected to a lake, but you can't sit anywhere closer, you allowed to drop your rig in that lake

It hold 300yds of 12lb bs. What canal are you fishing?

Instead of bait boating it 300yds to your chosen spot try moving closer.

If its short range then any 0.43 should do the job within reason? PB Control / maybe try the new Korda Kaizen?

Gardner Hydrotuff is well regarded for its abrasion resistance.

I'm definitely replacing my 3 big pits with 3x Shimano Medium Baitrunner XTR-A LC.

I'm looking for a worthy replacement for the Korda Touchdown 0.35 mm 12LB/0.40mm 15LB.

This line must be very abrasion-resistant with a strong knot. I fish on two canals: one with a lot of rocks and the other with a lot of plants.

Since the Medium Baitrunner has a much smaller line capacity i'm looking for a replacement with a lower diameter that doesn't compromise on the breaking strain of the Touchdown.
