Berkley’s New NanoFil

   05.27.11

Today while checking out my facebook I came across a post from Steve Pennaz. Steve is the 1st one to write about this line. This line could be a game changer and I can not wait to get this line in my hands.

It is due to hit the shelfs in June of this year. Steve says “there is simply nothing else like it.” Steve went on to say “It has been awhile since a new product introduction left me slack jawed and weak kneed, however, Nanofil does both.”

So what is this NanoFil. NanoFil is the world’s first Uni-Filament fishing Line. It is made up of  hundreds of Dyneema® nanofilaments and through a process of molecularly linking and shaping, created an incredible strength per diameter and superb sensitive line.

From the sounds of things NanoFil its unquestionably built for spinning reels. The line looks white  in color on the spool, but once off the spool it looks clear.The  flat-out castability  is supposed to be 1st class, Steve said”I nearly killed a squirrel on my first cast. NanoFil is unquestionably the best casting line I’ve ever used.” They are saying to expect to increase your casting distance by a full third over mono. If you have the wind on your back, spool clearing cast could be possible. The lines also boost near zero stretch which means  rock solid hooksets.

When NanoFil hits shelves this June, you’ll find it available in 150-, 300- and 1,500-yard spools, and the following pound tests: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. The only color available will be “Clear Mist.” The packaging will look like the image above
