When tying nan-o-fil knots you must cinch the knot slowly. Cinching it hard and fast creates excess friction heat, because it is so slick, and will sometimes compromise the knot. Also the crossed lines in the eye also applies to mono.

When tying nano-fill lines.what works for us is a knot against a knot.A Fireman's knot.LOL.Or" lock knot" First tie a knot in the end of the line run through hook eye,Nose ring,ect twist 8 times run the tag end with knot through loop in line pull slowly,slowly as line tighten's up to hook eye. The strongest knot out their bar none.When spooling on reel "spinning reel or baitcaster put a few wraps of mono backing to keep from spinning around spool or a piece of "duck tape" around spool.Hope this help's.Don't use nano-fill you will be hooked.
I started using nano last year and now it's on every reel I have. It is a must for for my dock shooting rigs.

you said you tie the flouro to braid with an alberto knot. i use st croix panfish and avid x rods. they have micro guides. will the knot you use go through those small guides smoothly. i've tried the double uni-knot, and the blood knot they both hit the quides pretty good when going through.
I've had nanofil on one of my spinning reels for about 4 years in the 10lb test. I originally bought it for the casting distance for a trip to the beach. It out casts everything I've ever used. Brought the same reel full of the same line on just about every trip since then bluegill and redear fishing. The white line color doesn't seem to faze the fish a bit, and the sensitivity is just unreal. It will take some getting used to with watching your knots and casting it. It's stiff- almost like dental floss. Once you figure it out tho, it's awesome!
Okay, I gave Nanofil a shot. Spooled it on two spinning reels, fished with it for three trips and have to tell you it is probably the worst line I have ever used. I am sure it has its purpose, but for me fishing shallow water in SE Louisiana. I fished it using a cork, using jighead and plastic tight lined, tried a little topwater and small spinner baits. It cast a mile, but it just does not work. Maybe it has to much memory but it was always tangled up in the reel. I'm going back to 6# mono...What mono, not sure, but guess you can't go wrong with Stren....

in my experience all of the braid/superlines,the bail should closed manually.i do this anyway as my first reels were hand me down mitchells with broken or failing bails.todays auto return to top bails can hang the very light super lines.i dont use them for bait/bobber rigs.usually for jigs/roadrunners in deeper water.also you can way up the test as 6lb nano might be close to 2lb mono in dia.stren now has a similar less expensive product i will be trying soonQuote:
