PNW workhorse tippet material: tough, dependable, and made for steelhead and salmon.
Maxima Ultragreen is the preferred tippet material of steelhead and salmon anglers everywhere. Its tough finish, reliable knot strength, low memory, and abrasion resistance make it a natural choice for fishing off a PolyLeader, VersiLeader, or sink tip.
Simply cut the length you need, tie your preferred loop in one end, and make a loop-to-loop connection to your leader or tip. Tie on your fly, make the swing, and fish with confidence.
For much of Pacific Northwest steelhead fishing, 10- and 12-pound test are the everyday go-to sizes. Step up to 15–20 lb. for larger fish, heavier flies, and tougher conditions; Alaska and British Columbia anglers often choose the heavier sizes for big steelhead and Chinook.

- Excellent knot strength
