Maxima's good line (as ultragreen) but recently i have been raving to my ghillie about Fulling Mill flouro in 15lb. I recently was lucky enough to hook a 20ish lb fish that literally had me round every rock in the pool, i could feel that horrible grating of the leader against rock after rock after rock. the fish also jumped and whacked the leader several times. I bullied that fish in and when in the net the ghillie told me that he wouldn't have believed that fish would have landed on any other line. he was incredibly impressed by its strength. All i use now.

No need for fluro in my opinion, there are very rarely times when salmon will be bothered by seeing a leader. Stick to 12 or 15lb maxima. In very low water and bright conditions I have dropped down to 10lb.
