I loved to hate that line... loved the way it casted, but hated when it would fray and break losing fish... I know I get in trouble every time I mention that, but it's been my experience with the line... I always thought it was way too expensive for the way it lasted for me... I did get a couple spools later on that didn't fray like my first couple did, so maybe I just got two bad spools, the crazy part was I bought more of the stuff.... I really liked it fishing for the smallies, not so much for the catfish... Later J
Hey Jeff, I am a longtime fan of Nanofil and have had very little problem with fraying. After repairing a couple of rods for you I suspect that a large part of your fraying problem was due to fishing with rods with tip tops that had worn grooves in them. Some of those metallic tip tops do that...and that will tear up any line.

Ex Utahn here now living back in Australia and it’s seems I’m in a bit of a quandary. I just can’t get my hands on any 6lb Nanofil anymore. I’m pretty sure it’s discontinued at least here down under) but I thought I’d ask around on here if anyone knew of anywhere over there selling it on line or even if someone had some sitting in there tackle gear that they wanted to sell?
Anyway, you don’t ask you don’t get as my old man would say.
Hope you’re all doing well and keeping warm, bloody hot here at the moment but that’s turning the fish bite on.
Cheers

G'Day mate. I have been a fan of Nanofil since it first came out. And I have enough spools to carry me over for a couple of years. But I don't have to respool every year either.
My understanding is that the Berkeley X9 is considered the replacement for Nanofil. Haven't heard any reliable reports on it since it is fairly new. But you can find info on it at Link to X9
Smallest diameter they list is 8# but I'm sure the difference would be unnoticeable.
