What pound test Chameleon? I use 4lb Chameleon on a shimano 1000 with my noodle rod. stuff works good... and doesn't twist up as bad as the limp stuff... cause I mainly fish for silvers with spinners in the salt... Can't tell you about the 8-12... I only use ultragreen for heavier test on the spinning reels.

Now on Casting reels that is a totally different story... Chameleon has the best abrasion restistance of any line I've used... It is my choice for mainline on casting reels...

Ooops, I guess I put in 4 cents when you are only asking for two....

guess that makes me a communist?? :p
