I don't enjoy using it. I only do when I feel the advantage is significant. Frogs, South Carolina, wacky on spinning, and pitching to sharp stuff.

It's all I use now. I can control redfish easily and feel soft trout bites better. Braid has also held up much better for me when fishing over oysters or around structures, and doesn't stretch or deform. I see no advantage to not using braid for redfish and speckled trout.

My dad got some NanoFil 6# and put it on his UL spinning reels... He was outcasting me bu prolly 50%... Still caught more fish than him though

maybe I will rig up one of my reels with some and test it out a little more. I gave his shite back after I caught 5 reds

Especially on ultra lights. Its the only thing i found that doesnt go to hell on those little line twisting bastards.
