Opinions, please- Best steelhead line?

[ddahl3]

I Have switched over to Maxima for my main line for the past 3 or 4 years. 15 or 12 pound. I use 15 when i am in the narrows fishing the salmon river as there are lots of jagged rocks and stuff. I use 12 every place else. With 10 pound test on my front end. I fish with guys that use much lighter and seem to do just fine. The only hit on braid i have is if it is really cold the braid holds lots more water and i am ALWAYS having to knock the ice out of my rod eyes. like every 6 casts or more. I fish mono as much as i can so i cannot answer your braid question. hope it helps.
