Maxima Ultragreen Fly Fishing Leader/Tippet Material

As usual this is a great product. It seems to work well for my application as fly fishing tippet. It is durable and last pretty well. I’m happy with it.

I use this primarily for a leader when fishing plastic baits in thicker cover. It tends to hold up well, with less line abrasion than I have seen with other brands. I like the Chameleon line as my spool line and this as a leader.

Maxima Ultragreen is my favorite tippet for trout fishing. I hesitate ordering online because it needs to be hand tested to make sure it’s fresh. Cabelas and BassPro are hit and miss if the have it in the store. Older stock will snap when pulled to test.The line I received was good.

I love Maxima leaders, its all that populates my tackle box. I have every weight available between 2 and 12 pounds and they all perform excellently. Good knot strength, high sensitivity, and I believe low stretch. Sometimes when I am using 2 pound leader and I hook a 2 pound smallmouth it will stretch out and loose its stretch/elasticity, but at that point I just replace it. I have landed up to a 3 pound smallie on 2 pound test, its just all about setting your drag correctly. You can surely tell when it has been stretched out, it loses its "softness" and sometimes want to wind up, but most of all it just wont stretch anymore. They break very rarely and I believe have great corrosion resistance. A little spendy, but you get what you pay for.

I keep coming back to Maxima even after being asked to try a different line. Maxima just performs the best.
