Absolutely classic...lol

Bought all the memories flooding back of the days fishing the stick float catching ooodles of chub and dace with my mitchell match loaded with 2lb maxima.... now its rocket, method, baggy wag, pellet wag ... all on nothing less than 6lb line... not quite the same is it -

ah those were the days, mind you back then I didnt have a mortgage and a kid and could go fishing three or four days a week - now I have to wait at least 10 years I suppose before I manage to get back into my fishing properly as my daughter is three months old and the missis is already planning the next one to fit in with the right school year!

maxima without doubt

Maxima "it ain't broke so don't fix it"
Having said that, in heavy breaking strains 8 - 12lb and for good bite registration in winter months, I have been using Berkely Sensation and been well pleased with its performence and value for money.

Shimano Technium 8lb can't beat it for carp very good abrasion resistance and very strong, so good infact that very well known anglers who are sponsored by MAJOR companies use this line instead of their own brands! Names are strictly classified info!

Maxima has never let me down not even with those hard fighting barbel is some very snaggy situations.

ive been using berkley ironsilk for chucking a cage, method feeder upto 40m for the last couple of years for carp from 3lb upto 8lbish with no problems what so ever.

Shimano Tecniumin in the 8lb, designed for carp, thin, strong, casts well, I was hooking and holding double figure carp at stafford moor on this gear so they could not get into a snag had 140lb for a lake win it's that good try casting out a bomb or feeder with 8lb maxima it's like chicken wire :¬)

Cheers everyone for your thoughts/suggestions. I decided on Shimano Exage 5lb.
