    Update..... that was fast.
    Went out this morning and got to see some potential of the line and the reel itself. The double uni knot hold up just fine, can’t comment on sensitivity just yet since this one was caught on paddle tail swimbait. I can’t wait for crappie to come near shore.

    Yeah,you never gonna find it on the shelves, it's too specialized,amazon definitely has it, that's where I got mine.

    I don't seem to get the wind knots with the crystal, as I did with the Nanobraid.

    I had Gliss line on my spinning before, that line can get wind knot and once it happen you can say good buy to the line. I still have on one of my baitcaster. I actually like the line for sensitivity but it just frayed too easy.

    I use it for casting only. I've tried it vertical jigging and you are correct it does loop around the end of the rod. I've been using the 24 lb .

    This is true. Around here 4lb is about as low as they go. Amazon does have it. Actually, 2 lb in any type can be tough. I just had to order 2lb Stren Crappie.

    Another update.
    cant wait for Tatula 2000 spool so I filled my Sahara 750 spare spool with 4lb nanofil. The distance is better than 4lb windtamer on legalis LT 1000. I got about 35-40’ (on Presso 5’6) which is fishable distance for me. I added top shot about 8-10’ with 6lb Fluorocarbon, the sink rate is not bad seem like thin line cut through water pretty well even the lure is pretty light. End up with 3 bluegills before I switch to roadrunner to find crappie. I started to like this line more.

    Good report on the line, thanks for taking the time. I use the 2lb Nanofil most every trip where I’m casting, and this past Sunday was no different. Caught a crappie just under 15” throwing a 1/43 no frills jig. Once I used it awhile (the 4lb also) it lost some of its stiffness and casts better than when it first came off the spool. Hung up and brushed a branch on the way to get it out and had to retie. There’s a learning curve and personality but I haven’t found anything yet that does as well for me yet.

    Have been using Nanofill ever sense it came out..Its says line equlivant..To mono..
    I am, A fly fisherman by heart,Bassfishermen wanttobe Crappie fishermen...That being Said I love the stuff..
    Like anything else..GET WHAT SUITS YOU AND YOUR STYLE OF FISHING..
    We use 8 lb clear mist Berkley Nano fill which is Equlavent to 4 lb mono....10 lb Nanofill is equlavent to 6 lb mono.....
    It Floats..Which is a plus for me crappie fishing..I want the lure in front of their face as long as possible....
    We fish Deep,Rocky,Tangled Trees in gin clear Mountains Lakes..Where Fluorocarbon is a must...We tie a little backing mono to keep from spinning on the spool...Tie directly to lure or hook..Have tried all the nanofill don't know why? Fisherman I guess..Berkley in my opinion is the best..hate leaders..Fly fishermen.....Good fishing
