Hell-o everyone. Of all the line dressings and cleaners, Which one do you like the
best.
I use GLIDE, but I am up to more opinions.
I use the line dressing sold by Ron Kusse.
Goddess, how do you like the Glide and who sells it? Thanks
I use the line dressing that is made by the same company that made my fly line. I don’t think they would sell line dressing, that would destroy the fly line they make.

unless they want you to buy more line…
I use the Renew Line Cleaning & Conditioning Solution with the Renew Line Tool.
I got Glide at Sportwmen’s Warehouse. I had the cloth that came with my Cortland, but it is dead and gone. Orvis makes a real nice one also. I like the Glide, no complaints. I also wash my whole reel once in a while in Dawn dish soap, Cutts Grease.
As per the manufacturers recommendations, Ivory soap and water followed with a light dressing of a pure silicone floatant such as Poo Goo.
I agree with Fly Goddess. Glide is good stuff. I put some on the pads of my Orvis line cleaner box and run the line through. Let it set for a few hours and then run the line through a soft cloth.
I’m also a fan of Glide, good stuff.

OK…I may be a heretic or just a cheapskate…but I use the Scientific Anglers product…I think it is just called line dressing??
Anyway, I squirt it on the foam pad and run the line through it going off the reel and some more going back on and keep on fishing. Can be used with wet or dry line whenever the flyline starts to drag through the guides or you notice your casts are rougher, and shorter. Just a little shot and peel off 60 feet or so and go! Depending on how dirty the water is and how often I’m fishing I may clean the line and reel thoroughly, otherwise-FISH,FISH,FISH.
Works for me.

I fish, therefore I swam.
Loon Line Speed.
No doubt in my mind that it is the BEST on the market.

First shoot a deer, then remove and render the hard fat. Mix in some parafin, carnuba, and bee’s wax along with some lamp oil. Set this conglomeration out in salve tins to cool. When cool eat the stuff and buy what the line manufacturer recommends.
You will then have enough “dressing” in your body to clean and grease the line for the rest of the season. Just run the line through your hands.
Repeat the following year.

I don’t know if it works…and I don’t know what it will do to your digestive tract. But if you take leave of your senses and try it and It just happens to work, we’ll be on to something! Let me know.

I might have to try Loons Line Speed …as soon as I’m all out of my 2 bottles of SA Cleaner.
That should be around 6 years or more BG And I clean every other time I fish, or close to it. (Sometimes forgetting…)

scientific anglers, there isnt really much choice here especially locally. Unfortunately there are probably more rods in the one sport shop which has tackle than actual trout in the local rivers. Drift dive count last year was 12 trout in 25 km.
Dressing …?
er low calorie for me
