Cudz Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 It is on sale for $14.99. Worth it? Pros and cons? Also, could I use it to ice fish with? It would be freat if people who have actually fished it would also chime in here. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oryx Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Which ctc's? I haven't seen it in stores yet...just the fireline. I have an extra spool for my stradic that is begging for this line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoneFishin Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) I'm thinking about trying it and replacing the braid on one of my spinning set-ups. This is off there website: http://www.berkley-f...om/line/nanoFil Not a Mono. Not a Braid. The Next Generation of Fishing line. NanoFil is made out of gel-spun polyethylene, much like a superline. This ultimate spinning reel fishing line consists of hundreds of Dyneema® nanofilaments that are molecularly linked and shaped into a unified filament fishing line. Dyneema, The World's Strongest Fiber™, gives this line superline type strength and our uni-filament process makes it feel and handle like a smooth monofilament I think I know what I'll be running on my pin this fall.

Cudz Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I am going to buy one spool and split it between 2 spinning rods. We'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oryx Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Looks like they added this to their website. Used a link from the online flyer. Seems that there is not a 10lb available 4,6,8 and 12. Any input on what test should be used for the BOQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I know I'm going to try it...I've been waiting for an excuse to replace that stark white, line twisting, guide wrapping braided crapola called Suffix. Did I mention guide wrapping??? Grrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 They say it doesn't have memory BUT I think if you are going to put this new line on you might want to let the spool of line sit in a warm bucket of water before you spool it on the reel. Just in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdve23rveavwa Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I do love my spinning outfits, going to give it a shot. Let's see if this one lives up to the hype. Although I'm still not suffering from the guide wrapping on the Suffix 832. This Nanofil might just be the ticket for the young lads, if it lives up to the claim of non-twisting, tangling. Think we'll spool up a reel or two for the trip up north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 i'm interested in hearing how the Nanofil works. I'm still very happy though with my Suffix 832. Just a thought, anyone having issues with guide wrapping should try to keep a closer eye on there line. Once I started paying attention, it never happens anymore. Same with my kids, and lord knows they used to have wind knots and guide wrapping down to a T, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolson Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Well, the remainder of my Trilene XL got completely screwed up after a couple hours of Hula Popping in the dark last night, so I'll see if my local CT has this in stock and if they do, I'll give it a whirl too.

Kingsalmon Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Bought Nano-fil ($39.00US for 300 yards) when I went to the states last month and used it on Nipissing for pickerel a few weeks ago. Sensitivity wise, it is no different than my old fireline that i have on my other rod. It has a nice silky feel to it, and not like thread for the fireline. It casts further using the same 3/8" jig as compared to the fireline. It doesn't twist after a day of jigging, but neither does fireline. So essientially it is just a new type of fireline at triple the price. BTW the price in CTC is probably for the 115 yd spool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 BTW the price in CTC is probably for the 115 yd spool. Nope. I just bought 2 spools of 10lb. 150 yards each. 14.99 a spool. I will spool up one of my reels and give it a whirl tonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
