I thought about buying a spool to try on my conventional reels. Wouldn't mind giving it a try on my fly rods too. I'm wondering if it has advantages on picky trout.

One thing that could be off putting to fly fishers, is it's white, not clear. We shouldn't complain about the cost.........considering how much we pay for "tippet", but that will be another factor. Nanofil floats, like normal braid does.
