Maxima Chameleon

I had a note from a fellow angler in South Africa asking abut Maxima Chameleon. It’s a question I get often, so I thought I’d share the answer with everyone.

Hi Gary

Hope you and your family are doing ok.  We, in South Africa are in the grip of winter.  Will

be doing some lake fishing with Tom Sutcliffe at Highland Lodge next week.  They had a lot of

snow over in the Storm mountains, area.

Gary, I have noticed that you like Maxima Chameleon line to build your leaders.  Is there any reason why

you prefer it to Ultra Green from Maxima?

Regards

Gerrit

Hi Gerrit,
Maxima Chameleon is a bit stiffer and has a much harder surface than Ultra Green, and consequently is much more abrasion resistant. Because it is stiffer, I can use a smaller diameter than when using Ultra Green. The new Maxima clear is not quite as hard as Chameleon, but nearly so, and I have used it in place of Chameleon with OK results.

All my best,
,Gary
