Actually I don't use a winder for line cleaning....they are for changing line, etc.
I like to stretch the line between the railings on my deck and then walk the line with a gun cleaning patch with ZipCast.
Two birds with one stone...stretches out memory and cleans the line.

Duck, me too. I string the line around inside the house to clean it with whatever I might be using. The winder I use for installing new lines or switching lines.

Why? This sounds great to me! I've often thought of building a setup like that. I get to use the one at work, so I've just never bothered.........Originally Posted by Gemrod
A shot? Not from me. I love power tools! Especially when they are home made. How about some pictures?

Same here.I'm with Marco!! Don't need no hi-tech stuff to clean a fly line.
Just Zip Cast and a clean 12 ga. cleaning patch.
Oh, Jack, if you tie the line to someones belt loop and then bring the 12 gauge up...well...you'd be shocked how fast they can strip all of the line and backing. All over an empty shotgun too. Might have trouble getting them to stop running and come back though.
And what # test tippet do you like to use? I'm sure you recommend using a furled leader.
Help! I've looked for ZipCast in two different fly tackle shops now. Neither shop carried it and the employees in both shops told me they'd never heard of it.
Is this a new product just out? Something not available in stores that you must order direct from the manufacturer? What's a typical bottle cost?

Ohiotuber here on FAOL sells it. That's where I bought mine. Send him a pm. Good stuff and a great guy. But don't tell him I said that. His head is already big enough.
