Ultragreen This is MAXIMA`s original green monofilament. Though often attempted, no other manufacturer has duplicated the exclusive colour and characteristics of MAXIMA Ultragreen. This line becomes virtually invisible under water, particularly in fresh water and inshore coastal waters. Ultragreen is also soft and limp, yet retains MAXIMA`s legendary tough, high-durability finish for excellent abrasion resistance. Ultragreen is the best all-round line for a variety of freshwater and general saltwater fishing, spooling and casting well on spinning, baitcasting and larger conventional reels. Ultragreen`s invisibility under water also makes it ideal for leader material. 6 7
Chameleon MAXIMA`s exclusive Chameleon has the unique property of changing hues to match the colour of the surroundings, for invisibility in water that is cloudy or lightly stained. Designed for freshwater lakes and rivers, this line has the toughest finish of all line brands on the market. It is ideal for casting and flipping around rocks, brush and other snags. The incredible abrasion resistance also makes Chameleon the best choice for fishing rock-strewn rivers, especially for salmon, steelhead and walleye. Chameleon works perfectly on baitcasting and conventional reels. This line makes it an ideal fly leader material, especially for the butt section of tapered leaders. Red Chameleon The new launched member of the Chameleon family is the Red Chameleon. In underwater conditions the colour red is the first colour to be filtered out completely. Due to that law of nature Red Chameleon gets invisible and extreme effective. In various field tests MAXIMA has optimized the ideal red for a complete underwater invisibility. 8 9 8
Treazure Treazure is the result of years of product enhancements and designed to give the most advanced performance. Manufactured with MAXIMA s Micro-Extrusion-Technology and from a proprietary blend of high-graded co-polyamides Treazure stands for a new generation of lines. With the new ADP (Additive Depot Protection) it offers unrivalled abrasion resistance and long-lasting durability. At the same time, Treazure has an outstanding breaking strength and retains MAXIMA s excellent softness. Fluorocarbon This product of MAXIMA has been produced with the Carbon Technology of the 21st Century and offers the ultimate in invisibility, castability and durability. A blend of low refractive material with nonflash components makes MAXIMA Fluorocarbon totally invisible for fish in water. A new polymer structure enhances the sensitivity of the line and gives MAXIMA Fluorocarbon extraordinary castability. The special finish is additionally treated with a UV-protection extending the line s life time. 10 11 11
Crystal Ivory Fibre Glow Fibre Glow is a uniquely coloured, high-visibility line that is perfect for tracking lines and detecting subtle strikes. It is also ideal for night fishing with black light that causes the line to glow luminescent. Fibre Glow incorporates MAXIMA`s high-durability finish for incredible abrasion resistance, yet retains just the right amount of limpness for easy spooling and casting. A favourite with freshwater and saltwater fishermen alike, Crystal Ivory, with its unique golden colour, is designed to blend and disappear under water becoming virtually invisible to fish, even in clear-water situations. At the same time, Crystal Ivory offers excellent visibility above the surface, making it easy to track your line and detect the most subtle bites, even in low light conditions. And, like other MAXIMA monofilament lines, Crystal Ivory s high-durability finish makes it incredibly abrasion resistant. Whether taking on bottom fish or wary surface species, you can fish with the confidence that versatile Crystal Ivory will get the job done. Marine Green Like all MAXIMA fishing lines Marine Green is manufactured through an advanced line extrusion technology that transforms nylon of the purest form into monofilaments of highest quality level. Although limp for easy castability, Marine Green retains outstanding toughness with the kind of highdurability finish that has long been the hallmark of MAXIMA lines. Its superior abrasion resistance allows for safe handling of fish even over roughest ground and under toughest conditions. HV High Visibility Incorporating premium monofilament construction that begins with virgin nylon, MAXIMA HV s vivid yellow colour will excel in all applications where visual tracking of the mainline is important to the presentation tion of lures and baits. In daylight fishing conditions, MAXIMA HV stands out boldly in any fresh or saltwater environment, while delivering ering MAXIMA s hallmark knot strength, durability, abrasion resistance and castability. 12 13
Perfexion IGFA Class Line MAXIMA Perfexion is a thin diameter, extra limp monofilament that fishes tougher and stronger. After years of relentless product research, development, and exhaustive field testing, MAXIMA has achieved Perfexion, a super premium monofilament that combines all of the best qualities of a fishing line into one. Thanks to an advanced polymer formula and proprietary new extrusion process, thin diameter Perfexion is so soft and limp that it spools easily, lays flat on revolving spools and spinning reels alike, and offers outstanding castability. Donny L. Smith caught a gulf grouper of 110 lb., 14 oz. on IGFA rated MAXIMA line. An IGFA all-tackle world record! Manufactured to meet the requirements of the International Game Fish Association (IGFA), our IGFA line is for seekers and those fishing in tournaments operating under IGFA rules which state that a line is not to break over the specified lb-test category. MAXIMA offers it s IGFA line in Tournament Silver, Clear and Fibre Glow. At the same time, MAXIMA Perfexion has the kind of high-durability finish that both maximizes abrasion resistance and assures excellent knot strength, yet retains just the right amount of stretch for positive hook sets. Clear Perhaps the most versatile of all MAXIMA fishing lines. Clear is super soft, yet retains MAXIMA s tough, high-durability finish for exceptional abrasion resistance. Invisible under water, Maxima Clear meets a wide range of freshwater and saltwater fishing situations, from casting and jigging to trolling and bottom fishing. Knotless Tapered Leaders Two types of MAXIMA monofilament line with two distinct properties are fused into one to create the perfect leader for fly fishing. The suppleness of MAXIMA Ultragreen on the tippet section allows the fly to move naturally and appear real on the water. At the butt end, MAXIMA Chameleon offers the right amount of stiffness allowing the leader to roll over freely and lay out more smoothly. The unique matt finish of this product with light absorbing properties makes this leader effective. 14 15
Monoslik MAXIMA s Monoslik is the quick and easy way to clean and lubricate your monofilaments and fly lines. The Monoslik line lubricator helps carry water away from the line while additionally cleaning the line. Due to the microthin coating the line keeps longer fresh and limp. Advertising Material MAXIMA always offers a large variety of promotional items such as T-Shirts, Caps, decals, etc. helping you to promote the products. Please ask for current availability. 16 17
