Pretty much the same here as others posted.
Nicks easily. Check often.
You can cast considerably further with it on a spinning rod verse any other line.
Spinning rod ONLY use.
I like the 10 & 12lb line for bass fishing. 14lb is a little "wirery". (I know not a word...)
I don't care for the white. I like the newer green color.
It does blow braid/anything else that exists out of the water sensitivity wise when used on a good rod.
Knots are not easy. As a matter of fact straight up the hardest knot to tie is anything with Nanofil. The stuff is just so dam slippery almost all knots slip out. Double Palomar to a lure is the standard and sticks good. Any other knot had better be perfect and over done to hold (like nanofil to fluoro leader).
I only use it on one rod just because there isn't much else for options. One of Madisons spinning rods that she uses for med depth cranks. Nanofil really was the only way to get some "decent" strength and allow her to cast decent distances. The rod is a med 7' Shimano with a super soft tip on it so she hasn't experienced much as far as catch losses using a line for cranks that doesn't stretch at all. I also have the drag set pretty light on that rod.
I tried it on my drop-shot set-up and I really did't care for it. It worked fine but so does 10lb braid. Casting distances doesn't matter with a drop shot so why bother with something knot picky that nicks so easily verse braid that lasts through years and years of abuse. Also due to it being so prone to nicks it doesn't make sense on our lakes to use it on a shakey head since one is down in the rocks and muck using that technique. I stick to braid on both my drop shot rod and shakey head spinning rods with Seaguar InvizX Fluoro for leaders.
