Berkley NanoFil Review,
By Drakkenfyre (Lynchburg, VA, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Berkley NanoFil Uni-Filament Fishing Line - 150 Yard (Sports)
Positives:
Thinness. This stuff is THIN. Even the highest pound test is thinner than 7 pound monofilament. Castability. You can cast this stuff very far. The slightest casting will toss it farther than you are used to casting monofilament of equal pound test. You can cast even the lightest lures way out. You can toss a bobber and a hook as if it were weighted, at this point, the weight is only for straightening out the bobber. No need for weights on most lures unless you are using a weighted method for sinking. Slickness. The line is slick, and goes thru the water easily. No stretch. This is a positive and a negative. It allows for easier hook sets, and increases sensitivity, but allows for greater breakage if you get hung or snagged. Almost no memory. Allows the line to work well without many twists (the normal kind, see below), and tangles. I noticed twice the line seemed coiled as it came off my reel, but it didn't affect the performance, and went away as soon as I reeled in and casted again. Negatives: Twists. The line twists. It doesn't affect the performance, but it twists as you use it. It doesn't knot up, or tangle, tangle when you cast, but it does twist on itself. You can smooth this out by running your fingers down it. No stretch. As said above, this is a positive and a negative. The no stretch increases the chance for a break to occur if you get hung, or snagged and pull hard. Or snapping if you have a large fish on the line. Decrease your drag to compensate for this. Knots. You CANNOT use a clinch knot to tie this stuff. It will slip out if you do. You should use a double Palomar (called a "NanoFil knot" by Berkley) to tie onto a lure, or a double Albright to attach a leader. Other knots with non-slip style tying will also work, but these two are recommended by Berkley. Noise on top guide. Casting and retrieving makes a loud noise on the top guide. The texture rubs against the top guide, and makes a noise, This may have been due to a wire guide, or maybe braid does the same thing. I do not use braid, and this line is similar to braid in the fact that it is textured. Cost. Yes, this stuff is costly. It's priced the same as other superlines, and it is indeed a great line. So whether or not it's worth it's price is up to you. I have read other people say the line frays easily, but I have not experienced this. Other people say knots reduce it's strength much greater than a knot will reduce the strength of monofilament, and that pulling on a snag will break it off at the knot. I have not experienced this either. Although, I have only used it once, and the water I was fishing wasn't very rough on the line, so I cannot say if the fraying is a long-term problem. It floats, like monofilament. It only comes in one color, and due to the way it's manufactured, it's unlikely to ever come in any other color unless it's tinted. Don't be worried that the fish can see it, I didn't experience any problems with the fish not biting because the line looked solid in the water. If you are worried fish can see the line, you can use a leader. Off the spool, it does look translucent, but you have to look hard to see it. The stuff is very limp. And it's very tough. I struggled with a pair of (admittedly dull) nailclippers to clip it, having to resort to yanking in most cases to get it cut. It works only on spinning reels. It's not meant for baitcasters. Setting a hook hard can dig into the spool. A Berkley rep told someone they could use this line on their baitcaster if they would normally use 4 pound test on it. It still has a chance to tangle on you and shouldn't be used for baitcasters. The packaging allows you to place the spool back into the package, and twist the bubble back on to store it. But if you order the 150-yard spool, it's unlikely you will have any left to place back into the package. As I said above, I have only used it once, but it's a great line. Further use may show the fraying and knot-breakage problem others have reported, but unless those problems pop up and overshadow the positives, I can recommend this line.

Longer casts,
By alex (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Berkley NanoFil Uni-Filament Fishing Line - 150 Yard (Sports)
I've tried this recently for bottom drift fishing for salmon. I thought it might be perfect for this and I was not disappointed.First the casts are indeed longer than with the Trilene XL mono I've been using before. This is important for me since I fish from the bank. However it is a bit less precise. Maybe this will get better with practice. In many ways it feels like a braid line. It is very limp and has no memory. It is thinner though and very slippery. It is so slippery that even when you use the nanofil knot it still looses a lot of its rated strength. I need to find a better knot for it. Don't even think to use a standard node like the improved clinch. I'm using this with a leader and this can be a problem since it ends up being much thinner than my Maxima leader and the rig is not so well balanced. Sensitivity is great, even the smallest bottom bump gets transmitted and with a good rod I can even tell the size of the rocks my sinker is hitting on the bottom.

works good on spincast reels,
By
This review is from: Berkley NanoFil Uni-Filament Fishing Line - 150 Yard (Sports)
purchased this line as a mono alternative for its smaller diameter...not sure if it is or not.
i primarily fish on a shallow, swift river...thus in currents. i use an underspin reel because in times past spinning reels would birdnest somewhat with me when retreiving with current. it was irritating. i was using a firey-superline which did not agree with my underspin (spincast) reel. this line works perfectly with my underspin reel. it doesnt get line bite at all it seems, even under load. i am not sure about the visibility of the bright white line in clear water - whether fish notice much (i have caught trout using this line). knot strength and durability seem quite good. it casts great as well and is limp...no memory to it. strike transmission is good too...you feel the bites. reccommended though i am not sure about teh bright white color. 2115|RFFC5XGIVW0VT;2115|R3A8X6EV333W1O;2115|RASLFFMX3XTTX;
