Bamboozle,
I'll have to admit I've NEVER heard of anyone going to this much effort (almost said 'work' here (*G*) ) after a day onstream. My hat goes off to you!! That's pretty darn incredible.

I'm usually much too lazy to take that kind of trouble. I don't even clean my lines after every trip, as I should. Really, I'm impressed.

And "something" inside makes me wanna ask "So, ya ever turn around and fish the 'foam line' behind you? ...but I won't. *BG*

Seriously, I thought I took care of my things after a trip but I'm no where near as thoughtful as you are.

Peter, sorry I didn't mean to hijack your question. I'd never heard of anyone taking care of the felts before.

Jeremy.
