This is not a new topic and, like in the past, alot of folks really like Maxima UG. After trying several types of Maxima (Crystal Ivory, Chameleon,& UG) and Trilene line, I have a different opinion. Maxima is great line for my Curado and ABU's but absolutely terrible on my spinning outfit. It's way too stiff. Sorta like trying to cast baling wire. But on my Curado it's wonderful. Very tough, just enough stretch, and unbeatable knot strength. Just don't put it on a spinning reel.

For my spinning reel, I agree with Salmon-tackler. Trilene Big Game is great stuff. It's inexpensive ($10 for 1/4lb spool ~ 1000 yards) so I change line every other time out. I use it in #10, #12, and #15. It's also an acceptable line on my Curado but Maxima is better for level wind reels.
