Maxima's exclusive Chameleon has the unique property of changing hues to match the color of the surroundings, for invisibility in water that is muddy or lightly stained. Originally designed or freshwater lakes, streams and rivers, Chameleon has the toughest finish of all brands of monofilament line on the market. It's 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 for salmon, steelhead, walleye, sturgeon and the like. Saltwater anglers also discovered that Chameleon's toughness and propensity to change color hues is prefect for fishing around kelp beds, rocks and other near shore structure, as well as bouncing the bottom for giant halibut, sturgeon and reef dwellers. Chameleon works perfectly on both bait casting and conventional reels, and it makes an ideal fly leader material, especially for the butt sections of tapered leaders.
