Nanofil Fraying Experience

Featured Replies

I like the stuff. Put it on my Shakey head outfit last year when it came out. and could not be happier. I do notice that it will fray with abrassive use, but so will just about everything else. My biggest complaint is that it will dig into itself when I am fighting a big fish or have a hard hookset... I can handel that. Have not tied on a leader yet.

Hey, question me all you want. :grin: I like it's castablity and low stretch quality and it's sensitivity. Also I feel I probably could have avoided the break-offs if I would have taken the time to inspected and retied more often. Though retying every few fish seems to disquailify the nanofil as a desirable alternative to other lines.

There is another thread about "how often should I re-tie" and some in there a few think nothing about retying after 3-4 fish, sometimes retie after few minutes, every fish. Say the same about this line though and its like a huge negative after 3-5 fish. The most Ive went is around 14 bass before a retie those were only 12"-15" size but with very thin 6# nano.

Also I think some people might try this line thinking its like a braid and fish it the say way as they do braid but its not a superline. It is not underrated like braid-PP, co-poly-YZUS its rating is true in that 6# line thats the strength you are getting 6#. With the no stretch and truer line rating it has to be fished differently.

On the distance wiith baitcasters Skeet Reese did a distance test with 12# nano and 10#Spider fluoro, 1oz cranks and was like 8 yds farther with Nano. Trying to find that article/video.
