Either Maxima Chameleon or Ultra Green, there are many others and it will be your preference. I'm sure you'll get lots of other opinions here. :D

After running Maxima lines for years on my pins I recently spooled one up with a mono line made by Seaguar. WOW what a difference and how much better it is compared to Maxima lines. Problem is I haven't found a shop that carries it in Canada yet and ordered it from Cabela's in the US.

  I was using Seaguar line 4 year ago on my casting rod and didn't have good experience. Now, I am using 12 and 15 pounds Chameleon on my pins. Could you please provide  name of this line. I would be very interested to try one.

X2 - After trying so many different fishing lines as well as braids I keep going back to Maxima, especially 15# & 20# Chameleon because I have yet to find a better abrasion resistant line that gives you confidence to fight fish in snaggy spots.
