I used to use Maxima Ultragreen until I was turned on to Suffix. I found that it has the same beaking/knot/abrasion strength as the ultragreen but a little more forgiving on spinning reels, plus it comes in a yellow color that I like for side drifting.
I'm curious what others are using and whether you're using it on spinning or casting reels. I'm using #10 test most of the time. (I'm talking mainline here, as opposed to leaders, where I still use #8 ultragreen).

Right now, for chums in Hood Canal, I have been using Stens' 14# Super Tough. Gotta be able to get over those oyster beds without loosing tackle every cast. Normally, I use Stens' Clear/Blue on the spinning reels.

Maxima Ultragreen and Chameleon. Nothing else!

~steelymann~

Izor High Vis, Ande, Stren High Vis

Skeets

Maxima UG and Power pro

Maxima UG for salmon/steelhead
Tuff plus for bottom fishing

Izor Platinum and Maxima Chameleon both main lines. UG and Izor from leaders. I only use casting rods.

ande tournament

For Steelhead #12 Ultragreen as mainline. This year I tried something a little different. I used #30 Power Pro on a Ambassaduer 5600c4. This 6.3:1 baitcaster on a Loomis 1025c prooved to be the best setup for spinner fishing for big silvers in the river I have used. The fish were not the least bit shy of the line (#6 dia.) Positive hooksets and they don't come off. In addition you can feel everything. No more guessing...is it a fish...or a stick?

Maxima UG

RR,
For oly/pen steelies Izorline!!! Go Big! or Go Home!

Either Fireline or Berkley Big Game.

Maxima UG on my drift rods, and Power Pro on the Float rods.

Power Pro mainline (tied direct to plugs and spinners)

Izor for leaders when leaders are needed

I use Maxima ultragreen 12#. I tried out Tuffline, but i found that I can't cast it as far. So now i am back to the Maxima.

Sufix 10# Mainline in Hi Vis Yellow.
Sufix DNA 8# for Leaders in Sea Foam Green.
Power Pro for Sturgeon and Columbia Kings.

For mono I like Izor the best and Power Pro for float fishing

Suffix D.N.A. in hi viz yellow. Or triple fish. I never go over 8# when throwing jigs or bait for steelies or silvers.And use 6# a lot of the time.

i used to use berkley xt, till i fell in lve with ziorline platinum green..little or no stretch or memory, but the stuff gets twisted on my spinning reel, but does awesome on my 6500c3, i heard suffix and izor are made by the company in japan but sold as 2 differant names, any truth to this??

I run power pro on everything. Damn bass line :p

Powerpro #30
Izorline Platinum #12
Maxima UG #10
Ande Hi-Vis #12

That Izorline is some pretty good [Bleeeeep!]!

I've been a lifelong fan of stren, clear blue or superstrenth. I'm experimenting with Izor which I love but am having a hard time finding the Hivis. Yo-zuri hybrid also graces my baitcaster and I like it as well. TUF XP for my sturgeon and columbia king rods, LOVE this stuff.

P-Line CXXX, Stren, Maxima.

yo-zuri on my spinner, and power pro on my baitcaster, happy with both.

I use maxima chameleon 10 lb.. Steelhead NEVER!!! care about the long black string hanging off what they hit.

the best casting line i have ever used was Stren magna thin but it is not abrasion resistant so I don't use it.. but it is a dream to cast..

on my spinning rods I have trilene Xl 12 lb

max and original tuff line

Thanks for all the info. I found out Suffix is made by the folks that make Izorline (kinda like gmc and chevy).
I'm staying with the Suffix but was curious about some of the others. your replies helped. I think I will try the Power-pro sometime though.

River Raider,

Did you happen to see the line test that was done in the October 2001 issue of Sport Fishing? In this very informative test suffix lines did very well beating out (in abrasion and tensile stength) most all of the other popular mono's including Maxima, Ande, Izor and Stren. Stren original beat all others in the abrasion rating but fell far short of Suffix (tritanium) in the tensile test.

In general, the test showed that monos held up far better than braided lines in abrasion tests while fluorocarbons demonstrated virtually no abrasion resistance whatsoever. You are making a very good choice going with the suffix for a mono. For braids, the original Tuf-line tested the best but Power Pro is very hard to beat IMHO. Best Regards,

RM

Casting: Maxima UG
Plug Rods: Izor Hi-Vis
Boondoggin Rods: Izor Hi-Vis
Float Rods: 20# PowerPro w/Izor Platinum leaders.
Spinning drift rods: Izor Platinum.

Izor is hard to beat on spinning reels but I prefer Maxima UG when I drift fish for big natives.
