I always use Maxima Ultragreen, Excalibur or Ande line in 10-15lbs test depending what fish i'm after. I find its durable, strong and reliable expeccially after a few days of hard fishing. I always respool every month. My friends like Yo-Zuri and am trying to get me to change over. If you were to pick ONE fishing line what would you choose. Trilene is OUT. This is how I use them

Maxima: Winter Steelie, Silvers
Excalibur: Summer steelies
Ande: Chums and Kings

sure like my trilene been using it for years

I have been using Triple fish for a few years now.I'm very happy with it.6-8lb for steelhead and silvers.25-30 lb for chinook and sturgeon.
Started using Suffix D.N.A. in 8lb for steelhead this year and so far I'm pretty impressed.

The verdict is in and P-Line is the best of the rest. I use P-Line cxx xtra in moss green and it matches all of my Calcutta's perfectly.(same color) I have tried all of the big name line's and read and did research from info I got out of the Sport's Fishing Magazine's article and and the extensive testing they did and I have found that the P-Line is way underrated and is an excellent performing line. Can't find one that cast better or is stronger and as tough as P-Line. I usually order it from Cabellas or Bass Pro. I am sure that if you or anyone else would try it you will see exactly what I am talking about. This stuff is strong with great knot strenth. I use to 20lb test for the Kings and I usually win. I catch lots and lots of Kings and Silvers and with this line they don't have a chance because the line just does'nt fail. My 2 cents worth. Hope I have helped to end this mystery.

i tried p-line before and it was ok, i still like maxima better. i use 15# ultragreen in the sound and have never lost a fish due to line breaking. as long as you use a name brand fishing line and have your drag set correctly you should never lose a fish to your line.

i think most of the guys on this board use maxima, but that doesnt mean it is the best line all around or for the way you fish. even though i have my favorites in tackle, line, hooks & etc. im still trying a new brand every now and then just to keep up with what's out there.

Forgot to mention that I like to cast great distances and the P-Line out performed all the others as well. I use Maxima Ultra green for my leaders some of the time but I find that it's not as limp as the P-Line for a main line. The ultra Green is good stuff but I think that P-Line has more for your total fishing needs. It does'nt require a long cast in most cases when fishing in small rivers and zipper streams so a stiffer line does just fine. In my case I find that the P-Line does equally well in both situations. When it comes to my tackle I consider quality of performance the most important factor when considering my purchases. FYI try breaking off the 20lb P-line and see for yourself the extreme effort it takes and compare that to the others.

I started using suffix DNA this last winter and love it, great line, no complaints from me.
But there are a ton of good lines out there.
Peace Superfly

i fish ande line and have no complaints, but i do have to respool my reels about twice a week. i fish hard and catch lots of fish though. i use maxima for my leaders. a little more abrasion resistant. maxima is great for baitcasters, but horrible for spin reels. i fished maxima perfection and found out it was inperfection. just my own opinion though.

I tried out Stren's Extra Tough. Man, they are not kidding! I spooled my downrigger rods with 15 lb. When the bite cooled off I started to jig with a 3 1/2 oz Pt.Wilson Dart. To make a long story short, I snagged on the bottom and I could not bust the line loose to save my life. I had to cut it! I was really surprised at this lines strength.

i jus spooled on some 15# izorline, it definately held some fish this weekend, guys next to me breaking off fish with 20# line (not sure what they were using, but i had no probs landing my king with the izorline..it keeps getting frayed tho, im not sure if its my guides or what..**berkley boy**

Remember all, you can recycle your used fish line at any decent sportsmans store.

good point about recycling line. mabe the crackers will quit leaving their whole spool on the bank at the end of the day.
