No complaints with Nanobraid off bottom. I’ve used it since it first came out for mid column presentations (spy,hair). All I fish are smallmouth. Zero handling issues and 4-6lb has handled some big river fish without worry. I run the 131 for bottom contact.

Thank you much appreciated...I am considering the heavier 14-16 because I fish some nasty rocks and debris in the Middle Tennessee area rivers.

Yes sir, I can relate. I fish some very bony water.

Powerpro super slick, I use 10 lb on my lighter setups and 20 lb on my med HVY rods, works great and works well with FG, Albright, and Alberto knots
