Never tried Maxima, is that a coloured line?



very good stuff pete, give it a stretch before you use it. the brown chameleon is surprisingly invinsible over sand. i'd say its harder to see than flouro. blends in really well. and its only 5 quid for 100m.

I've been using it as rig body on my flappers in 30lb for the last 3 years and find it great. It does need a stretch though..apart from that it's great and I've had no problems with it :)
