Nanofil line

Any of you have experience with this line? I hear that it outcast all other lines, but it breaks easy? Want to get some opinions on it.

yes... and yes. It appears to have some manufacturing/quality issues. I would use it again if they get their "weak sections" problem fixed.

The other issue is that knots are tricky, like fluorocarbon ...you really need to tie a very even, straight knot with nothing overlapping or....bing!

For now I'm sticking with PowerPro

I am suspicious of any co-polymer lines.  I Used the Stren series of lines for 30 plus years.  Now; it is not owned by Dupont; but by a company that also owns berkley. 
I have started trying out Seaguar Senshi for my  Monofiliment  and find it a very good line so far.  This trial is primarily due to my good results with the Seaguar fluorocarbon lines and the cost of Toray lines.

Thank Yawl for review here!  I use Seaguar Fluoro, Red Label and AbrazX, on most of mine, but my reels intended more for Saltwater, I use Ande Clear Monofilament, mostly 10 and 12 lb. for Inland Salt.  My heavier gear gets Powerpro.  Ande Mono is very serious and should not be underestimated.  I BROKE my 9' Spinfly with 6 lb... "ain't that a shame...my tears fell like rain...You broke...!-!...my rod...!-!...when You said...!-!...snap flop...ain't that a shame!"  Mr. Paul, it's good to hear positive about the Seaguar Mono, I've been eyeballing it...

I use Ande pink mono on many of my salt water pier reels.  It is good, tough, decently priced line.  This is needed for pier fishing as I go through a fair bit of line fishing on the pier with salt water pier sized spinning reels.

I use the nano in 2, 3, and 4 pound sizes without issue on spinning reels. Don't consider it on a casting reel. The stuff has a super amount of slick on the surface and will cut into a casting reels spool of line. I don't have knot or weak spot issues in the smaller diameters but I have heard others using heavier lines speak of such occurances. Fo vertical jigging crappies and walleyes it is a tough line to beat for sensitivity.
