I love this stuff! I fish it in the salt for Kings, Lings, etc. I also fish it in freshwater for Steelies, etc. I've used it for 15+ years. For me it's a toss up between Ande (green or tournament) and Maxima UG. Usually it comes down to cost and I buy Ande. Only once have I been disappointed and it was because I bought the line at White Elephant in Spokane(cool store, but they sell OLD fishing line). The line ended up being very old and therefore was brittle. When you switch your line every season or more often, Ande is my choice......
