Nanofil hi-vis

[Dollfly]

I have been using Nanofil for almost two years. First spool was 12# test ,didnt like it went to 8 better, 4# even better Not sure about the 2# yet may try it though. The knots don't seem to be a problem to me but the 4# is a just a little tougher to tie than the larger dia is. I like the no stretch and smooth casting. I think it takes some getting used to it, at least it did for me

Forgot to add I like the clear mist better than the hi vis. The hi vis seems to fade some after a while.

Just like others posting I swear by 6# and wouldn't mess with 2 or 4. It's pricy so I fill half the spool with mono then follow with the Nanofil.

I detest this line. My step dad is one of those guy who has to have the new best thing. When he lived in TN it you can buy any color as long as its green. Then it was Mr Crappie hi vis yellow, and now its nanofil. Nanofil bud! Bud!! Bud!!! Bud! See what I'm saying. Know what I mean. I'm telling you bud. Nanofil.

I've used clear monofilament my whole and I've caught just as many fish.
Smh...
He's got a buddy who's just as bad.
I'm 41 years old and he gave me a seminar on how to use crankbaits.
Ugh!

A few years ago my local Academy store had clear mist 4 lb Nanofil on clearance for $2.99 a spool. I have around 15 spools left and I love the stuff. I did take me me a while to find the right knot for the stuff. Normal knots would slip like crazy because the stuff is so slick. I finally found the perfect knot from a guy on Youtube and have no problems since. It's thin and cast like a dream. No stretch makes it even better. I simply love the stuff.

Wish I had been at our Academy during that sale. I wasn't able to get but 4 spools. Love the stuff.

Here’s the thing about lines. You need different lines for different situations. I am sure that a lot of folks on this site only fish for crappie. Even with that unless they only do one style of fishing they will use more than one type of line. I am not a crappie fisherman....I catch my fair share of crappie but I am an avid UL angler fishing for Smallies....crappie....Gills....white bass.....shell cracker......and trout. Name a brand and type of 2# test line and I’ve probably used it......used a lot of lines many do not know about unless they order direct from Japan or Europe. NanoFil had a place on my reels for about a year solid when it first came out. I still use it on a bluegill only setup with an XUL rod that I use in lakes that have a bunch of 6-7 inch Gills. It allows me to cast a 1/64 ounce Trout Magnet a country mile....and whether you like the line or not one can’t knock the sensitivity of it. Today was my last day to fish for 2017. My intended target was bluegill on the bottom in 15 feet of water. I was using an “Ester” monofilament. It is 1.4# test polyester line that is like mono.....with a couple of exceptions....it has zero stretch.....and it sinks. But after a few fish I got into white bass and switched to a reel that had SOS 2# test line on it and proceeded to catch 150 of them. The 1.4# test line with no stretch is not going to work with white bass....I had a reel with 2# test NanoFil on it but it was not best choice for what I was doing either....the SOS 2# test copolymer was just the ticket.....lots of stretch. But it was the ticket for today.....next time out the ticket might just be NanoFil...or another type of line.

I have 6lb Nano on ALL my reels. Best live Iv ever used and Iv used them all. I use a synch knot, but you must tie a square knot wrapped at least 3 times in the end of the line first because it will slip out without it.
