Ande as good as Maxima? I'm afraid I'll have to disagree here. I fished some 10 lb. Ande mainline on one spinning outfit and tied on 10 lb. Ultragree leaders. The result? Broken mainline EVERY snag. Not once did the Maxima leader break. While I realize that 10 lb main should be matched with 8 lb or less leaders, this just shows that Ande is not as strong as Maxima. I like how Ande casts etc, but it isn't just as good as Maxima. Cheaper, yes. Better, no.

Fish on........
