Fly Line Dressing for sinking lines.

I just wanted to know what most of you use to dress your sinking and intermediate lines. I use a mild soap and clean the lines but they are not as slick as they were when new. I might try some WD40 or some silicone. I have used some RIO dressing for my floating lines but it did not work well with my intermediate line. Thanks for any imput.

I just clean them with soapy water. I have not found a dressing that does not slow the sink rate down a little bit, but if your not worried about that then use some silican. One thing I do is to armour-all the rings on my fly rod, dont spray it all over the place, just a quick spray onto an old rag and then wipe the rag over the wire eye, including obviously the inner part. This can make a big difference.
All the best.

Hi Bass;
I use WD40 on all my lines. I spray it on a rag and wind the line on the reel. The only thing is, it doesn’t really last that long.After a couple hours you are back to square one.

Loon Sink Fast. It is a dressing designed for sinking lines.
