Terrierman Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 I have a love hate relationship with nanofil. Love the castability and how long it lasts. Hate tying leaders on - I use the Alberto and it works good - but I still get hung up and break off a few times and wind up having to retie. Also seem to have more trouble with the nanofil looping on the spool and creating a mess. snagged in outlet 3 1

Ham Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 I remain Very Happy with Nanofil. It does have a few negatives, but for me, the positives Greatly outweighs the negatives. I am not one to stand pat however. I have a reel spooled with yellow Suffix 832. I am trying Berkeley Ultra 8 on a spinning rod. I bought a saltwater reel (Size 30) and went with Power Pro Super Slick V2 in 30 lb. I will give that a whirl at latest on 1/7/20. i still mostly use an Alberto. Uni to Uni is plenty strong enough and easier to tie, but it bums me out feeling it bang it’s way out of the guides. I do also use the 3 turn surgeon’s when I’m feeling lazy. Noticeably weaker than Alberto, but I don’t remember one ever failing on a fish. Happy New Year People! Let’s Live Well! Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

MOPanfisher Posted January 1, 2020 Author Posted January 1, 2020 I am planing keeping my NanofIL for the same reasons as Ham, and like Ham the next trip to he city may well find me with a spool.of the 832 suffix, unless I weaken and buy another Nanofil.

Have you ever gone straight nano to the jig for trout?
Al Agnew Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 I have come to the conclusion that simple is best. I don't use any line anymore but McCoys Mean Green. Don't use any knot but a palomar. Don't use spinning gear anymore because I don't want to worry about line twist. Well...I do still own a couple spinning reels spooled with Power Pro, and I MIGHT use one a couple times a year, but never use a leader so I don't need to know any knots that connect leader to main line. Fly fishing, I only use fluorocarbon tippet. Connect tippet to leader with a blood knot, 3 or 4 twists on each side. Use a palomar knot most of the time, an improved clinch knot once in a while. I want a knot I can tie in my sleep, or that I can tie when my fingers feel like popsicles. To me the best knot is one you can tie flawlessly with consistency.

Palomar wouldn’t be the best for that.

I don’t want to burn thru nano on lure changes AND I’m not completely comfortable with braid/nano straight to lure. snagged in outlet 3 1 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.
