Yes, I'm still using the Rio conditioner ... but I liked whatever it was I
had before that better, it was slicker, longer, it seemed .... no, I
don't remember what it was G

Larry,
there was a thread recently on line cleaning. Both Scott Sediman
and I thought were told line dressings attract dirt. Scott said he
uses mild dishwashing soap and water, and I use the Scientific Angler's
cleaning pad, but no line dressings or conditioners. I got my advice from
the SA reps.

I also use the Scientific Angler Trout Taper in a DT 5wt in the dark olive
color and had very little problems with coil memory. If you know you
will not be using your line for awhile while spooled on the reel, make
sure it's dry. I wipe the line down with a damp cloth, then a dry
cloth, then hit it with the cleaning pad after my use on the water.

Lefty Kreh would stand on his line and gently pull with both hands as he
worked out the coils of memory line.
