Hey puresteel,

I used Ultragreen for years and have no complaints. However, I like the new Crystal Ivory Maxima better for a couple of reasons.

First it's way cheaper (~$11.00 for 220 yds of Ultrgreen vs. ~$9.00 for 1,000 yds of Crystal Ivory), and I like the color better because it has better visiblity above the water, so you alway know exactly where you're line is.

I have also switched to green Izorline for leader material. It's more limp and is slightly weaker than the same strength Maxima. It allows you to use the same lb. test for your main and your leader; 12 and 12 instead of 12 and 10.
