Hey, I wanna see this model! What is STS Magazine? As far as Maxima, I might try this new stuff. I'm using spiderwire on my Shimano Slade 4000 now, because the Ultragreen was too thick (15lb). I couldn't cast worth crap, and it tended to get messed up on the reel. But, I don't really like spiderwire that much either. Any advice will be appreciated, as I am still a rookie. Although I've yet to hit a steelhead, I really enjoy using Marabou jigs, and only have the spinning reel. Anything that is designed for that type of fishing is probably worth me looking into.
