My wife sure thought I had spooled up with dental floss after using one of my rods. Wasn’t too happy when I made her taste it to prove she was wrong. Only 2 minor complaints about Nanofil from me. When I get the occasional birdnest, it’s sure a lot more difficult to untangle. The other is due to its slickness. On the first couple of setups, I spooled it directly on to the aluminum reel. Once I hooked into a fish that required use of the drag, it would just spin freely on the spool arbor not getting enough friction to engage the drag. Easily fixed by first running a few yards of cheap mono, then topshot the nanofil. I tried taping the first couple wraps on the reel too. Worked for a little while until I needed to crank up the drag. Then it still spun
