It is funny to read all of these replies and how easily some of the issues you are experiencing can be fixed so the experience of using the best line for spinning rods can be completely reversed. First off, I am not sponsored by anyone or anything. I use all types of lines on all types of rods etc, and Nano-fil is what I have spooled on all of my NRX spinning rods, 12 lb in white. I use a flouro leader about 3 ft long on both, and it is a stellar combo, I will outcast anyone and pull sticks of great size back to the boat if I snag one. Issue #1- "my knot breaks too easily"- Fix= tie the knot that it says to on the packaging of the $20 line you just bought, wow, if you listen to the manufacturer it actually works, imagine that. This is a specialty line, designed for zero stretch, and the least amount of coil memory for the most casting distance of any line out there. (now I would not recommend using it tied directly to the lure, but if you do, get the green in 14 or 17lb, seems to work much better, my 10 yr old son prefers this and never breaks off, catches several 3 lb and over bass without any issues). Issue #2- tying a flouro leader and having the line not hold, slip, the knots don't work properly etc.- Fix = tie a double uni knot with 10-12 wraps with the nanofil like anyone recommends when tying this knot with such a smooth and small diameter line. Same as you would with any other superline like braid, etc. Fireline, spiderwire and the like will also work just fine when tying a flouro leader, and like anything it's a personal preference, to each their own, but this line works just fine, incredibly actually if you just take a couple of extra measures to ensure you are using it the way it is intended. If you do these 2 things you won't have issues. I fish this set-ups in bass tournaments and when fishing casually, don't change it up for either.. and I have the same nanofil on as last year, just cut off the end 10 feet and boom, ready to go. hope this helps someone out.
