| Did a little early season trout fishing today on the Rush River up here in WI and those people at Maxima put me over the edge. Ever since I started using it it's been problems galore. Elephant's memory and pathetic knot strength. It has minimal stretch, but seems to snap easier in cold weather. Today I was twitching a little #6 Husky when about a 22-24" brown smashed it. Magnificent fish! Had it on for maybe 5 seconds, and the line went limp. Not only did I lose a 5$ lure, and a beautiful fish, but the fish is all but a gonner w/a Rapala hanging out of its mouth, just waiting to hang up on something. If you you were thinking of trying this stuff, don't bother. I've had enough trouble for the 2 of us.
I can't let Rob have all the fun!

| I use maxima exclusively when steelheading. I have never had a problem with it. |

| It is possible to get a 'bad' spool of ANYBODY's line. Best thing to do is return it for a new spool, to the manufacturer, so one is guaranteed a fresh spool. My bet is that when the new spool arrives, and it will, the line will be much better.[:sun:] |

| I love the Stren easy cast for my early season trout and steelies, wouldn't use anything else, besides maybe Stren Clear Blue Flour. |

|
| haven't had a problem w/any other line or rods i've made. how would that matter anyhow? |

|
| But why would you be using anything other than stren?? Low vis green fits my water but it is always gonna be stren for cold water for me.
