I fish Maxima ultragreen 6-12 lb. test almost all the time on my spinning reels, I use the Shimano stradic 2000 for steelie's and smaller salmon on the loomis IMX 1082s and lamiglas cert. pro 9.5s. At times I will go to the braided line 10 lb. when I'm fishing bobbers & jigs and don't want to lose my home-made bobbers, it stays on top, and is easy to mend on long drift's........c/22
