Extra tough for abrasive conditions. An improved abrasion-resistant formula makes XT even tougher and more durable. XT holds up to rocks, logs, docks, and other cover when other lines won't. More bass tournament pros turn to XT than to any other monofilament.

Hi Kev
Have you thought about x-line,its a bit more expensive i know but i have been using it for nearly 3 yrs and i am well pleased with it.
It sinks like a brick and has good abrasion proof properties and also doesnt have too much stretch in it like most monos.
Admittedly the weight of it may cost you a bit of distance on the cast.
Daiwa sensor seems to be a very popular line but i cant claim to of used it
but on other forums i have read that a lot of people do use it and rate it highly and its quite cheap.
Suffix synergy is a line that i used for a while and had no problems with.
Sometimes i wonder is there really that much difference between a lot of the lines on the market other than the name and the marketing claims.

Currently using shimano technium line in 12lb, sinks well, very hard to see in water and has much less stretch than most monos.

Top line.
