The line handles very well its perfectly round and smooth and silent through the guides, but its floating and 0 stretch like braid. Obviously haven't had it long enough to say how the memory is cuz I just spooled up. The 3lb breaks very very easy though, like, considerably easier than the fins windtamer 4lb braid I had on the other rod w me. And they recommend using their 2 special knots for tying. I had 2 palomar knots either break or slip, not sure. The nanofil knot looks just like a palomar xcept when you tie the overhand knot w the doubled line you loop it through twice instead of once. And they recommend a double albright for splicing. 2 slight variations on knots I already know so its no biggie for me. All in all I like it but was expecting a little bit more strength. But hey its 3lb test
