I use mccoy exclusivly on my spinning reels. It is limp with very little memory even in the coldest contitions. I do keep an eye on my line though and re-spool every 6 to 8 trips ( mccoy is reletively inexspensive). I have had no breakoff problems and have landed springers to 25 lbs. with 10lb. test. By the way i use maxima exlusively on my levelwinds.
