Last year I started waxing the first 20 feet or so of the mono on the rods I
use for fishing topwaters. I got the idea because Hank Parker mentioned it
on his TV show as something that fly fishers use on fly leaders to help keep
from dragging down dry flies.

Anyway, do you guys do this? Wax your leaders when fishing poppers or
dries? Do you use any special kind of wax?

I treat the fly line but never the leader or tippet.

I suppose for big bass flies it wouldn't make much
difference one way or the other but for fishing dry
flies you *want* the tippet to sink into the film.

I use red Mucilin, mainly because that's what I use
on my silk lines and I don't see any need to buy two
different kinds.
