What is the best line cleaner?

[Mark Landerman]

Not just a touch up………..full on get the grime out and have it float like new?

[Zach Matthews]

Lando –

It depends on the product, man.

After poor experiences with SA and Wonderline, I only fish Rio lines.

Zip cast. Use it often and you’ll be pleased.

I second ZipCast, great stuff!

I have a process for cleaning my line. I use dreft detergent in a bucket, strip off the line and wash it off. Then I put the line in a bucket of fresh water and rinse off the soap. Then I dry the line and apply Glide.

Finally, I take a rag and wipe the glide off.

Essentially the line dressing is like car wax. You need to buff it off. I’ve also heard of people who didn’t buff off the line dressing and it put a groove in one of the stripping guides.

It takes a while to do thus, but I’ve had good success with it.

Didn’t you say in another post Lando that you love yourself and you are not a cheap ass? Buy a new line. I am sure with all of your connections you can get them for a descent price.

Joel,

Are you offering to send me some new line, or do I have to wait to get some?

[ron snow]

Zip Cast.

I need to buy more.

I buy it from Jerry.

I use the Rio line cleaner on my Rio lines, The SA line cleaner and pad on my SA lines, and Glide on my other lines.

I clean my fly lines after every use.
