Just curious if you have compared them and your reasons for why the SOS is superior. I've used the 8# test Nanofil on my "white bass" rod. I like it a lot, but the line is not clear (it's white), and the tiny diameter makes using leaders a bit nerve-wracking. I was considering experimenting with something else on my panfish rod, and you've got me interested in this SOS stuff.

thanks
I have been using NanoFil since the day they released it. It is a braid that casts further than any line on the market. It has it's draw backs...I use a leader all the time as it has very little abrasion resistance. SOS is a copolymer.....it and NanoFil are two completely different lines. The NanoFil is superior for feel but has no stretch at all. The SOS line is a great all around line.....very strong and manages well on a reel. It just depends on what I am fishing for...where....and what kind of waters I am fishing as to which line I use. But you won't go wrong with SOS line.....I think it is the best line...for the money...you can buy. If you do a forum search on NanoFil and SOS line you will find a lot more detailed info.
