Travis has a good tip there. I don't know how many fish NanoFil but I have reels now spooled with 2#..3#...4#....6#....8#..and 10# test...LOL. I use a leader with all my NanoFil...and no it is not always with the same diameter line. I use the Surgeons knot but some people do not like that as they don't care for that knot going through the guides. I have never had on instance where that knot failed me. I use Phantom Fluorocarbon Leader...mostly 2# test for my Trout....Crappie and Bluegill. But that 2# test fluorocarbon leader I use is probably close to 3# breaking strength. But I will not fish for Crappie or Trout without that 2# test fluorocarbon leader. The other size NanoFil line I will use a 4#...6#....12# test P Line CX Premium. Just a word of note about NanoFil. I have used a spool of 2#..3# and 4# test for almost a full year. It floats... and also you had better check the first 20 to 30 feet after each fishing trip for abrasion and cut it away. But it is now my line of choice.
