Pat, I was going to mention guides versus NanoFil, but since it's now extinct, didn't bother. But back when it came out, I did say that the use of very smooth guides was mandatory with it.
My replacement line (I had to go check) is Spro Finesse Braid 8X. Turns out that I got it at half price because it is also now discontinued. Really thin stuff. In 6# it measures 0.1mm. That's frog hair but it's still made of eight filaments. My 150-yd spool might last me for six line changes if I only load 50 yards and then reverse it after a season or two.
If you figure it that way, even the new $30 stuff is only five bucks per spoolup.
Still a couple weeks before I drag out all my rods and do pre-season maintenance. But time flies.
