    Default Zip Cast!!! WOW!

    Many will say, duh as you already know. BUT, to anyone on the fence...buy the stuff.

    I was skeptical, as always. After a year or so, I broke down and ordered some...and WOW!

    It even made a marginal caster like myself look good...definitely added some distance.

    Job well done from the Reel Dot Guy!

    BRHOFF,

    You are so right! It should be called "Zip Cast Gunpowder" the way you can "shoot" line after using it. Also decided to try some a while back and was pleasantly surprised at the results.

    Mike............DON'T ASK!! Just simply go to the "Sponsor's Page", here on FAOL, click on "Reel Dots" and ORDER IT!
    Actually, it's a line cleaner/treatment, sold by Reel Dots. But as t "WHAT" it is, no one's saying. I've heard, it's made by Lithonian Pygmies, deep in the shallow forests of Iowa, but that just may be all rumor, who knows?
    I've also picked up, on the tale, that it's "made from a SPAM extract", but again, maybe only a rumor.
    Whatever, buy some, treat your lines with it and you WON'T be sorry, believe me!

    Default I contributed a bit to it's making...

    Paul...I heard it was made from the broken hearts of trout fly fisherman wanna-be's.
    Anyway...it may not make me look any better, but my sloppy casts are made with a lot less effort that's for sure.

    ZipCast is great stuff. Been using it for years and love the results. If you have any questions, Jerry will be more than happy to answer them. His a great guy selling and creating great products.

    By the way, ZipCast is made from elephant snot.

    I ordered it a couple months ago, and it cleans and works great. BTW -- it's made from Newfoundland (the dog) drool.

    I do, but I concentrate more on the dirtiest (front ) part of the line.
