For a long time I only used Maxima UG , but awhile back I went kind of line crazy and tried just about every line you can think of and then some. I now have a whole box of different lines out in the garage. Tied and broke lots of knots on a scale, measured thickness with a micrometer and used each line variuos amounts of time fishing. It boiled down to Gamakatsu and Damyl Tecan. The Gami line is probably the best, it has by far the best knot strenth to diameter ratio and very low memory,but I am using the Tecan now becuase I like the color of it and it's very thin for the #test. Now whenever I look at Maxima it seems really thick and stiff....... damn, now Im going to have to try this new line.
