Line choice

[Slumption]

What line do you use for float fishing? and is there a recommended line for use with unlined rod rings?

I've always used Maxima chameleon, Drennan floatfish and then Daiwa sensor for piking....

[Santiago]

Maxima Chameleon for me. Just took delivery of several spools for the coming season!

[RBTraditional]

Drennan Supplex for me.....

[Fredline]

I have just put Maxima Chameleon on 5 spools for a Mitchell 440 replacing the older Maxima Chameleon.

Tried Supplex when it first came out as an alternative to Drennan Floatfish - what rubbish! Chucked it away!

Back to Floatfish for trotting and Maxima for waggler and Sensor brown for everything else on unlined rings.

Braid on lined rings.

New shot of Sensor ever trip or two for trotting; anything no longer shiny (so it'll sink) for stillwaters - Maxima if feeling rich, pity they don't do big bulk spools.

[Olly]

They do do bulk Maxima spools - 600m on th'ebay.

Good question...

I have used Maxima chameleon for as long as I care to remember, and it has never let me down, not once.

That said, I often read about how I should be using a floating line for trotting.
This has led to me trying various other lines, with varying degrees of success. Drennan 'Floatfish' is ok, 'Suffix' I simply couldn't get on with, and I always go back to good old Maxima, wondering why I bothered to try anything else. As others have said, it's available in 600 mtr spools. I keep mine wrapped in tinfoil, to keep the light off it and it lasts for years in good condition.

Nothing fancy with reel lines I stick to the old tried and tested bayer perlon and maxima.
Don't see the point in changing.

Well, sort of bulk, but nowhere near Sensor, and much more expensive.
