Is it a braid? Is it a monofilament? With its new Nanofil line, it would seem that Berkley has created the first gel-spun “unifilament” line, as they’re calling it. Nanofil chemically fuses the gel-spun polyethylene fibers that make up braided lines into a pseudo single filament. (Note that other superbraids aren’t fused in this way; they fuse braided carriers. Nanofil fuses unbraided microscopic filaments.)
