I really like Nanofil, but it does have drawbacks. It frays easily, for one thing - especially if your rod guides are the slightest bit rough. I like it best in 6 to 10-lb test, where it casts a mile and has MUCH better feel and hookset than mono, and is a lot thinner for the same pound test. It also breaks at almost double its rating, so 6# Nano is good for at least 10 pounds of "pull".
I've used other braids in 20# and 30# on both spinning and casting outfits. Love it.
Test your rod guides with a dry Q-Tip. If a guide produces any "fluff" at all, it's a braid eater. Replace the guide or use that rod with some other line type.
