Diameter chart, reel capacity & backing guide
Crystal Ivory is Maxima's golden-colored monofilament, positioned for visible line tracking above water. Its U.S. Guide Spool range is not a fixed-length filler range: the manufacturer attaches different yardages to the individual strengths.

Is Crystal Ivory right for your setup?
Crystal Ivory is relevant when watching the line is part of your fishing, particularly the casting and trolling uses emphasized by Maxima. The golden color is a product feature, not evidence that it is undetectable to fish. Its larger Guide Spools call for a multiple-fill or long-working-length plan rather than automatically filling a small reel with the entire package.
Maxima Crystal Ivory diameter chart
U.S. Crystal Ivory Guide Spool variant fields. Metric diameters converted from inches. The repeated 12/15 lb specifications are an explicit source anomaly, not an inferred correction. They were confirmed in the original U.S. variant data but lack independent exact-SKU label corroboration; repetition alone does not prove a manufacturer error.
| Strength | Inches | mm | Spools (yd) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 lb | 0.007 | 0.1778 | 1000 |
| 6 lb | 0.009 | 0.2286 | 1000 |
| 8 lb | 0.010 | 0.254 | 1000 |

| 20 lb | 0.017 | 0.4318 | 651 |

Choosing your Crystal Ivory strength
Crystal Ivory 4, 6, 8 and 10 lb are listed at 0.007, 0.009, 0.010 and 0.012 inch. These strengths have 1000-yard Guide Spools in the current U.S. data.
The source repeats 0.013 inch and 1176 yards for both 12 and 15 lb. This is retained as an explicit manufacturer-data anomaly for review, not silently changed using another Maxima mono chart.
The 20-50 lb strengths are thicker and their Guide Spools contain less line. A visible color does not change how much physical diameter occupies the reel or make heavy mono appropriate for compact tackle.
This is a specification-based Crystal Ivory setup guide, not a ReelCalc hands-on casting, abrasion or breaking-strength test.

Budget a Guide Spool by actual yards
Current fields range from 1000 yards in the light sizes to 279 yards at 50 lb, with a repeated 1176-yard value at 12 and 15 lb flagged separately. Avoid assuming the larger plastic spool means a common yardage.
Plan visibility and terminal rig separately
Use the golden main line when above-water tracking matters to you. If a separate leader is part of the rig, its length and connection are terminal decisions; they do not change which main line determines capacity.
Use only the necessary fresh working length
For repeated fills from a Guide Spool, allow reserve for trimming and runs. Sound backing is optional underneath, with no connection in the normal casting section.
Crystal Ivory questions, answered
Maxima describes it as a distinctive golden color intended to be visible above water, including low light. ReelCalc has not measured visibility against other lines.
Are Crystal Ivory Guide Spools all the same length?No. The manufacturer's variant yard fields change by strength. Always use the selected row.
Why flag the 12 and 15 lb rows?The current U.S. fields repeat both 0.013-inch diameter and 1176-yard length. That unusual repetition is surfaced for review; values are not replaced from another model.
How much Crystal Ivory fits my reel?Use the selected Crystal Ivory diameter with your reel's published capacity. Pound test is a product strength label, not a universal diameter. Stop filling at the reel manufacturer's recommended level.
Does Crystal Ivory require backing?Backing is optional for a full mainline fill. It can make sense under a shorter fresh working section, but the connection must stay below normal casting depth with enough reserve for runs and retying.
