Very well behaved on a spinning reel. I use Gama 8 to 12 lb on my spinning reels and the usual 10-12 lb Maxima ultragreen on my casting reels. Gama is limper and thinner so be sure to go up a line strength size (i.e., if you usually use 10lb maxima; use 12 lb Gama) or use lighter gear. My spinning gear is lighter, preferring it for late-summer running when you have to throw such light weights.
