Gliss or nanofil. If u do a lot of casting and jigging. Does not work well with corks. Very very sensitive and casts very easily.

Ketchn used it about one week and the reel is re spooled with mono now , the roll of gliss is in the pick up bed if you want it
Thanks for the offer, Ketchn. I think I will pass.
Why does nobody like the nanofil or gliss?

I found the Gliss to be very easy to break off and about like sewing thread to deal with myself ....jigs worked way to fast with little or no line resistance and in the end unless you drop your jigs in open water I think you will fight with the line instead of the fish ....
Ketchen, I am trying to find the best line for my ultra light spinning reels. Line twist is my biggest problem. I use Pflueger reels. Open face and trigger spin.
I forgot memory is a problem.
I have used nanofil and it's great for some applications. Nanofil is probably not for most people and I wouldn't recommend it to start with. As far mono, it all has some memory some worse than others. Line twist comes form not spoiling the reel property and closing the bail with the reels handle. I use small 500 spinning reels with 4lb line and almost never have line twist. There are other ways you get line twist but these are the most common ways. Always close you bail by hand and make sure you're line is in the guide right. Look up jose wejebe's video on spooling a spinning reel on YouTube. Best video on it I've ever seen. Hope this helps.

I only use mono with floats and that's not very often, I mainly cast and jig or vertical jig and love nanofil or gliss for that, I also use the heavier nanofil for sauger fishing. Never had any issues with it.

IMO there is two things that causes twist. Putting the line on the reel incorrectly and secondly fishing a certain jig head/body combo that will incur twist as it is retrieved at a fast rate. I have found that mono and frequent line changes makes all the difference. I use viscous high vis mono which has a Great price and I don"t feel bad ditching line that hasn't been on my reel for just a couple of weeks. This is all relative, If I don't fish that week then obviously it doesn't need changed. I bought a line winder from Berkley that is a reel cheesy deal but it works. It Works good!!! I have absolutely NO line twist when it's put on. I have fought line twist my whole life and believe me I get it. It can make ya just about go crazy at times!!!!
Here is the line winder

How are you fishing? I ask because I only cast jigs and have virtually zero line twist, regardless of the line I use.Quote:

Did anyone else but me laugh out loud at this statement? Both my wife and I did.Quote:
