I spoke to the Maxima rep last night at the Northwest Outdoorsman Show here in Portland. He said it has less stretch and less abrasion resistance than Ultragreen. I am sticking with UG. He also said that UG and Crystal Ivory are the same line, just different colors. He claims that Crystal Ivory is just as invisible as UG underwater and cost less. I am convinced that UG is nearly invisible to fish. The only thing that may sway people from UG is the stretch. I still have not found anything that is better for me.
