Ok, if you want to pile a little hate on me that's OK, let'r rip. I have my reasons for not using Maxima and was wondering what is your other favored nylon tippet material if not Maxima.....Suppose this assumes that anybody out there actually uses something other than Maxima.
I've tried Rio Steelhead/Salmon and didn't like it. Knots slipped. Have been an Umpqua guy since the early 90's but it's hard to find. Been using Cortland lately but had a knot break on a steelhead last week, though in the interest of full disclosure I did land one about half an hour later with the same Cortland.
so I'm wondering if there are any better options? I like the Trout Hunter spools but never used any of the heavier stuff. Seaguar is tough to come by around here and I've never tried SA heavy tippet.
I've read every "tippet shootout" I could find but would like to hear real experiences. What's the best?
