    Default Line cleaning and dressing.

    I was doing some routine( to me, anyways..) maintenance; cleaning and dressing lines, lubing reels etc. and was just wondering what is eveyone using for line dressing?? I was using a marine product - Areospace 303 UV protectant, at the suggestion of a guide I know.

    I recently bought a Cortland line and dressed it with the enclosed cleaning pad. I know it's a NEW line and all but that sucker seems like it floats above the water compared to some of my older lines.

    I recently starting using Zipcast. I use it at least daily while fishing and find my line slips through the guides much better than Renew. Dotman (Jerry) has it and his website which can be found at http://flyreeldots.com/

    I use Kusse line dressing.

    Albolene.

    Use it for the line, flies, ore locks that squeek, fly reels, hand lotion for rough hands, and the lock on the cap on my pickup truck. Great stuff. $12.00 get you a life time supply.

    Good luck

    SA Line Cleaner on my SA lines. As suggested by the manufacturer.

    Funny how that works....and I clean them frequently, usually before every outing.

    I use the same thing on my SA lines and for the same reason. The only thing I do different is clean them after every outing.

    I have also used Glide with good results as well.
