    Default Conditioning sinking line.

    The sinking lines I use have never been cleaned or conditioned. Some are getting to the point where they have lost most of there slickness (is that a word?). I do alot of saltwater fishing and I just rinse the line with tap water. I have line conditioner but it is for floating line. Any info anyone.

    Get a hold of some Zip Cast from Dot Man.
    It will clean your line and put a teflon coating on it so it shoots like crazy.

    Soap and water
    I'm sure this will freak somebody out, but I soak mine in the dishpan with some dishsoap, scrub 'em down and then wipe them clean.
    My saltwater sinking lines pick up so much salt that I need to use a scotchbrite pad on them

    The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.
