Theres nothing wrong with maxima. The most important aspect of any line for the PW is its durability and ability to take a lot of punishment and low dia lines simply don’t last the course on heavy bagging sessions.
If you tie 3lb Maxima to a tree and put a 90 degree bend in the rod the line is almost impossible to break. Treat it with silicon line floatant spray and it will float all day, (I use it on the rivers as well especially for chub).
I use 4lb Maxima for most of my PW work at Viaduct, Stafford Moor and I even use it on Larford Speci Lake.
If you go with a heavier line you lose out on control.
