New fishing lines hit
the market all the time.

But they’re just another monofilament, fluorocarbon
or braid, labeled “new and improved,” right?

Not this time.

NanoFil is unique.

NanoFil – the next generation of fishing line, says Berkley, the manufacturer – is made
from gel-spun polyethylene,
or Dyneema, like many of
the company’s superlines.

But NanoFil, made for spinning reels, isn’t braided.

Instead, NanoFil is “molecularly linked and shaped into a unified filament fishing line,” the company says.

NanoFil looks and feels similar to monofilament.

The line, white in color, but virtually invisible when fished, is round.

However, the line is not hard, like traditional nylon monofilament

It can be flattened somewhat with a fingernail, for example.

Nor is NanoFil the same as Berkley’s FireLine, made from Dyneema fibers fused by heat.

NanoFil is the strongest, thinnest line ever, the company says, and is built for significantly longer casts and sensitivity.

"Thin and smooth are the first words that you think of when you touch it,” Berkley Pro and 2010 Walleye Tournament Champion Johnnie Candle said.

‘Wow,’ is the first thing you say when you use it,” he said.

“I knew on my first cast I was using something different,” he said.

The line is extraordinarily strong for its diameter, the thinnest Berkley line by label rating.

NanoFil, a floating line, is slick, requiring special knots.

Berkley recommends the NanoFil Knot, a Palomar with an extra turn.

NanoFil is available in 1- to 12-pound test, and can be used for everything from ice fishing to freshwater casting to inshore
saltwater angling.

NanoFil looks to be a completely original line, and useful.
