Nylon monofilament - Chameleon 25 m - MAXIMA
The Maxima Chameleon is a highly regarded nylon monofilament for building knotted leaders. Its relative stiffness transfers casting energy efficiently and helps the leader turn over properly.
It offers very good abrasion and knot strength. It also resists UV well and has low stretch. This is a reliable, consistent nylon, suited to a wide range of fishing situations.
Its matte brown colour reduces glare and provides good stealth in the water. Larger diameters are particularly well suited to butt and mid sections. Finer diameters can also be used to make leader tippets.
Key features
- Ideal for knotted leaders: makes it easy to build a tapered leader.

La Fine Mouche's take: Maxima Chameleon is a safe bet for building your own leaders. Its relative stiffness is particularly useful for butt and mid sections, as it transfers casting energy efficiently. Finer diameters can also be used as tippet. We also like its price, strength and discreet matte brown colour.
