Berkley recommends NanoFil for for light to medium action spinning tackle. It comes in eight pound-test sizes for uses ranging from ultra light and ice fishing with the 1- and 2-pound test...I'll tell you what, I was in my local bait shop about to purchase some 2 lb test Trilene when the sales guy pointed to the new line that just came in. It 6 lb test and cost way more, I was totally not interested as it was braid and I fish for panfish through the ice and A don't need braid and B need something invisible. Then he pointed out something that changed my mind on the whole thing. The diameter of the 6lb microbraid was smaller than the diameter of the 2lb mono I had planned to buy...got me scratching my head, then he said this new line doesn't go bad after one season like Mono and Flourocarbon does. Could last 6 years.....I stopped scratching my head and reached for my wallet.
I will report on how this line works with ice fishing. Visibility and freeze ups are what I am curious about. Once we get ice to test it out on I will let you all know. Pretty cool technology though- can land a much bigger fish on much smaller line than 2lb mono...so far I am intreged.
