I have often wondered about the Sufix Nanobraid but have never got around to trying it. Maybe one day soon.
Being a fan of nanofil’s casting qualities I’m always looking for a tougher version without the lack of abrasion resistance. Deepfry got some of this and showed it to me a couple of months ago. Gotta say how impressed I was in the grass lot behind the store. Very small diameter at .001 and more like a bigger line in construction. With backing behind, the spool was split and 75 yards went on a President 20 size. Put it on a 5’6” Fenwick with a 1/48 head and stepped into the backyard. Did a few casts with both that and my existing Nanofil rod. The Sufix went about 10’ further. Another foot and my neighbor could have given his opinion too. I like what I see so far. When the river quits going outside it’s normal banks and the fish come home, I’ll give an update on its on the water personality. So far as I know, tackle warehouse carries it. Hope this gives someone an option.

You got my interest, I was gonna order a spool to try the last time. I use mostly 4 and 6lb Nanofil. Were you comparing 2lb to 2lb? How strong is 2lb Nanobraid or Nanofil. I think my 6lb leader could brake before 4lb Nanofil.

I used 2 lbs Nanobraid for a while in saltwater. It was way too supple for my taste, but among domestic offerings it was probably one of the best overall, in my opinion. Just a word of caution: it is much stronger than advertised. I couldn't break it brand new when lifting a 8 lbs bag. It also happens to be much thicker than advertised, but that is certainly not so important as long as you're happy with its casting performance.

I have the line as well. I really like it for the price but as others have said, it breaks much higher than is advertised.

I have to admit I’m not a purist. If it will cast the really light jigs, like the 2lb Nanofil does, I’m on board. I’ve dealt with it’s poor traits to enjoy its good traits. If this Sufix is tougher as advertised, it will become my new favorite. If the Sufix breaks over two lb, so be it.
just bass, I was comparing both in 2lb, and I use a Stren mono 4lb leader. I also use 4lb Nanofil and like it with a 1/16 and have caught Shad and hybrid and LMB that put it to a good test and it held up fine. I’ve had good fish to the boat with the 2lb Nanofil only to have it part in the middle of the line, fish was just bigger than it could stand. Hasn’t happened often but happen it did.
Thanks for all the interest and input. More when I have it.

I guess I’m gonna have to get me one of those 2lb Nanobraid. The 4-6lb Nanofil still hold up good even though a lot of frayed and bump. So the 2lb Nanobraid is smaller or about the same diameter as 4lb Nanofil.
I throw alot of Bobby Garland itty bitty plastics on 1/48 jig heads. I have been using nanofil but like you stated it is not very abrasive resistant. I been wanting to try the nanobraid and you have just given me incentive to buy a spool. Thank you sir for the review.
Grain, odd to find someone that uses almost identical gear that I do. The Itty Bitty slabslayers put a lot of fish in my hand.
The package for the Sufix says that it’s .001, the same as I remember the Nanofil stated for the 2lb. Still waiting for a chance to get it wet.

Haven’t forgotten this. The river has just now gone down to where folks are getting into the backcountry where I like to fish. Soon.........
