Hello Fishing Buddies!
Today, we'll be talking about the Berkley Nanofil Uni-Filament Fishing Line.
(Intro)
Here I have the Berkley Nanofil Uni-Filament Fishing Line
in Clear Mist color . It definitely comes in a neat packaging which might have added
to its price.
As far as memory goes, well, that may depend on how you perceive "line memory."
The line definitely remembers its last shape and you can easily straighten it out.
Compare that to braid that seems to be trying to straighten itself out, this line seems
to just mold itself to whatever shape you give it.
Now what makes this "Nanofil" different from other lines?
In layman's terms, it's supposed to be a braided line, but is not.
Meaning, instead of weaving the fibres into braid, they used heat to fuse the lines - or
so they say.
Side by side, you can see the line twirl in braid where it was weaved.
So basically, Nanofil is made from multiple strands like braid but was fused to look like
monofilament which
is what we have on the left side.
This is advertised to be 0.28mm in diameter.
And according to my caliper, it is 0.25mm.
Moving on to the UV torch visibility test.
I was expecting this to glow like how white tshirts or teeth glow in UV lights.
But this one seems to have no reaction at all.
And because this line is really slick, most knots will just slip.
So the spool it comes with also contains instructions on how to tie this line properly
as well as how much percentage of its line strength will remain when tied in knots.
So keep this in mind if you are thinking of purchasing one.
Let's proceed to testing the break test.
This is rated to be 20.126 kg or 44.37 lbs.
it broke at 18.06 lbs at the knot.
So i tried it again, this time using the recommended knot that's found on the packaging which I
believe is a double palomar knot.
And this time, it broke at 21.44 lbs practically at the middle of the line.
There we have it.
All that's left now is to cast with it.
