ESP Syncro XT Line 1000m

ESP Syncro XT is an unobtrusive low visibility smoke green line that is extremely abrasion resistant.

It also features a slick surface finish to aid distance casting.

Available in 10lb, 12lb and 15lb Breaking Strain

1000m Spools

Excellent Abrasion Resistance

Super High Knot Strength

Low Vis Smoke Green

The XT of Syncro literally stands for extra tough, indicating that this exceptional monofilament is highly abrasion resistant and durable.

The breaking strain quoted on each spool is an easily achievable knot strength, appropriate to its diameter. However, with carefully tied, mechanically superior knots like the five turn grinner, average breaking strains can be significantly increased as indicated below.

10lb (possible 15lb), diameter 0.30mm

12lb (possible 17.5lb), diameter 0.33mm

15lb (possible 21lb), diameter 0.37mm

18lb (possible 26lb), diameter 0.40mm

Total Carp magazine review

In the search for a robust mono that would sink and not let me down in the weedier spots of my new syndicate, I was recommended the Syncro XT.

After a good soak in warm water it spooled up really easily and, despite it being 15lb, it bedded down quite nicely on the spool. I’ve since used it on several occasions and it has performed exactly how I need it to. One particular carp decided to charge through a hefty marginal snag just prior to netting, but the line held firm despite lots of grating.

My two waters are only small, so do not demand any lengthy casts – this is not a casting line – but what they do require is a strong, reliable line, and Syncro XT has ticked both of those boxes so far. I also get the impression that it’s one of those lines that will improve with age.
