Likewise, I have used Maxima 8lb exclusively for two years on all my reels
and haven't had any problems with it at all....I suppose it's down to what
kind of fishing you want to do, I more or less go out solely to catch carp,
either on the surface or legering the bottom, this line has proved to be
efficient at both, also the occasional floatfishing session has resulted in
tench, bream and even barbel....for finer match type fishing you need a much
thinner line, say 2lbs max
