ESP SYNCHRO XT in 15lb for me.
Drennan Flouro for hooklink but I don't think it's right, too stiff.

It's always amazed me how much stronger clear lines are over the coloured equivalent (Gardner GR 60).

I would have said ESP Synchro XT (used it exclusively for years from release) but current batches are awful. . . . the Loaded version was always previously the poor 2nd cousin as they made it more 'sinkable' however the downside was a springy unmanageable line that suffered from excessive twist. Its my understanding that standard Synchro & Loaded are now the EXACTLY same (barring the product packaging and colour) so they are effectively both pants! Why ESP did this I've no idea . . .a daft Friday Marketing meeting I'd assume . . !
These days I quite like Gardner GT-HD . . Thinking Anglers OGX is also a good line (nice and limp) . . . . . if your feeling flush I can fully recommend PB Products Hybron . . .its a mono / fluro blend and sinks better than fluro; its also limp and has minimal stretch; I use it on my primary carp reels but its probably a little OTT for standard barbel bashing!
