    "Uncle Homer," a LONG time bass GOD put it best ... "The monofilament fishing line is absolutely perfect for the majority of anglers."

    Unless you're chucking jigs and craws/creatures in to HEAVY cover, dragging cranks and spinners through brush and timber, thunking frogs and top waters around pads and weeds .... then you need a good BRAID! (I'd recommend Suffix)

    If you're serious about finessing an array of dancy plastics .... then you need a good FLOUROCARBON (I'd recommend Berkley 100% Flouro)

    Other than that man ... for the occasional California angler catfishin, trout fishin, or bass fishin ..... stick to a tried-and-true mono!

    What do you guys think of maxima? I hear people complaining about the coiling and others love it.
    To almost all flouro it happens,,,lol,,,

    Always tie it to a tree or tube or something and pull and stretch it,,,

    Well it is only 1-2lb diameter =). And I use several feet of 2-3lb maxima fluro for a leader.
