Josh,

What did your new ticket charge you with? What was the difference between the new ticket and what the old ticket said? You told us the last time that the officer had to rewrite the ticket, so what did he do when he rewrote it?

On this poll I would have to go with maxima even though I do not use it regular. When I do only as leader material.

Trilene lost to many fish for me.

Stren also lost alot of fish. I have not used it in years because the line would split.

I now mainly use Ande when using mono. Has been very reliable.

I use fireline and powerpro on my float rods with an Ande leader.

izorline. the stuff seems like it's even stronger than maxima, and it costs about 1/3 the price

The gamigatsu copolymer is the ****, I have landed 20+ kings on the Kasilof and Anchor on a fresh filling in the last week, with 0 failures, the only fish I have broken off was a broken Maxima leader. All of these fish were on 14lb test.

I did not get a new ticket back, I received a letter from the Clarck County District Court. Saying when my new court date is.

I perfer trilene. I like the feel of the line. Stren feels just weak. I usually use maxima as a leader

4-8 pound test-Maxima
10-40 pound test-Trilene
Heavy fishing-Tuff line for the heavy stuff, Fire line for the lighter stuff.
The Stren crap, what a joke. I don't even like using it for my weight droper.

Tried the new Stren Magna flex broke off on a 15 pound springer, what junk. Got it free at sportsman show in Portland as a free sample. I guess its so bad they give it away. Maxima for me has been awesome, not a single break off and ive bent straight Blue fox hooks with it on snags. Its worth the little extre expense.

I have fished with Maxima as long as I can remember. My fishing buddy doesn't use Maxima and changes fishing line brands as fast as his underwear and he is always breaking his line. Take it to the Max! laugh

I like Trilene Big Game for my main line. It casts smooth, low memory, and is abrasion resistant of course. Leaders, you cant beat Max Ultra green, Izorline, and P-Line....

In my opinion Maxima is to stiff.

Go with Ande's, also works great on spinning reels.

for a spinning reel, ande is the only choice for me followed by maxima ultragreen (chameleon for bait divers or when still line is needed).

i just put ande 10lb on my spinning reel on a 10'6" alstar float rod and i can throw an unweighted cork bobber so far that it blew me away. I had just changed spools from a 12lb maxima ultragreen to the 10lb ande and my casting increased by about 50 ft. the other thing i like about ande is that it is easier to mend the line with.
