It's all marketing now. I look to Tackle Tour for the truth on fishing stuff.
I bought some 6lb and 12lb nanofil when it first came out, and tried it. I found it had really poor know strength, and it didn't work for the thing I really wanted it for, as a main line with a fluoro leader for drop shotting. Because it's not braided, it gave me almost as much line twist as straight flouro. :evil:

Yep, it is now all about marketing and the bottom line. That was the problem I had with manufacturer’s calling copolymer line ‘mono’. I mean, if copolymer line is mono, then flouro line is mono. So it’s all mono.

But we all know these are not the same type of line. :shock:
