Ill give it a try and will most likely be sold on it if it really does have the characteristics of braid (hopefully strength) with the handling likeness of mono. I love that braid but i have having to carry extra tools around just to cut the stuff
 
I started using the new Sufix 832 which is thinner, rounder and more abrasion resistant then other braids - I really like it

This Berkley product sounds very similiar

Capt, I heard the 832 sinks like floro because of the Gore strand. Any truth to this?


Does seem to sink a little more then sufix braid - never used floro as a main line so I cannot compare
 
I started using the Seaguar Tatsu line a while back... and I still haven't changed my line in over 4 months (and y'all know how much I fish)... definitely worth the price, and you can't break that stuff

Berkley’s New NanoFil
by Justin Clark on April 11, 2011

Today while checking out my facebook I came across a post from Steve Pennaz. Steve is the 1st one to write about this line. This line could be a game changer and I can not wait to get this line in my hands.

It is due to hit the shelfs in June of this year. Steve says “there is simply nothing else like it.” Steve went on to say “It has been awhile since a new product introduction left me slack jawed and weak kneed, however, Nanofil does both.”

So what is this NanoFil. NanoFil is the world’s first Uni-Filament fishing Line. It is made up of hundreds of Dyneema® nanofilaments and through a process of molecularly linking and shaping, created an incredible strength per diameter and superb sensitive line.

From the sounds of things NanoFil its unquestionably built for spinning reels. The line looks white in color on the spool, but once off the spool it looks clear.The flat-out castability is supposed to be 1st class, Steve said”I nearly killed a squirrel on my first cast. NanoFil is unquestionably the best casting line I’ve ever used.” They are saying to expect to increase your casting distance by a full third over mono. If you have the wind on your back, spool clearing cast could be possible. The lines also boost near zero stretch which means rock solid hooksets.
 
Might give it a try.....depending on price and, like already stated....designed for spinning reels, but I don't use my spinning reels much. Pretty cool stuff though. I'm excited to see how it pans out.
