Nothing I have seen and tried has come close to it......until now! I "invested" in some new Berkley Forward thermally-fused finesse braid. This is the ticket! Looks like Nanofil, acts like Nanofil, costs a minor fortune like Nanofil, but this stuff even wears better than Nanofil. The old Nanofil would kinda shred and become frazzled when it went through rod eyelets that were frozen. (My only complaint off the stuff!). This new line does not do that and is a perfect replacement from Berkley...who made Nanofil. A 150 yard spool goes for $29.99 at Cabelas/Bass Pro. But I found it online at TackleWarehouse for $22.49. Cabelas happily matched that price so I saved $7.50 on each spool. If you want a super smooth, long casting, very thin, extremely supple, line.....then Berkley Forward is for you. I bought a few different weights and have been very impressed. I'll still use a 3-4' section of flouro or mono leader and only tie an improved Albright (a.k.a. Alberto) knot which has never failed me to attach the two together. Nope...I'm not getting paid by Berkley or anyone else for that matter!
looks like they finally got the pic feature working, awesome. Looks like some great line too, except for the price. How often do you replace your line Scott?
