CXX 10lb has diameter of 0.35mm vs. Ultragreen dia of 0.30mm, whereas 12lb has dia of 0.37mm vs Ultragreen dia of 0.33mm.
And Ultragreen is also no thin line either.
I have used 10lbs on my spinning reels this past season and I would guess that their true breaking strengh was well in excess of 15lbs.
For float fishing I used 12lbs as mainline and used 12lb ultragreen as leader with no problem.

I use 12 to 20 for mainline and prefer it to maxima ultra green. on the way store sells it as well as army and navy.
