I'm with you. I tried it and hated everything about it. Just do yourself a favor and buy dental floss if you are going to use this junk.
sounds like maybe in the manufacturing of the product if conditions and production arent 100 percent, then it can have major consequences. I myself have used it with great success, but with the others who have trouble it must not be coincidence. Ive also seen nanofil in some clearance isles at stores so there may be some merit to batches that are terrible.
So I was jigging with it day before last. Origional spool from when the stuff came out a few years back. It's time to replace it, I will try it again and see if any issues exist. I am confident it will be fine.I will say you should take a q tip and run it through all of your guides to check for cracks. While it may not be an issue with thicker braids, a cracked guide would waste nanofil easily.
I used it once and I was not impressed, I use Gliss anywhere I want to go real fine and cast far. I try to stay away from most Berkley products anyways. I know for a fact that they will change a product completely, and use the same "label". When I get use to using something, I want to know it will be the same each time I use it... Great marketing company...
Every freshwater fish you've seen me post has been caught on it. One mans junk is anothers treasure I suppose. I love the stuff...
