All of what others have said and . . . if you are fishing the
salt . . . the whole kit and kabuttle should be rinsed in fresh water,
and dried. This can be a pain in the ass if you've gotten into your
backing. I don't use soap on floaters because I think the soap
residue breaks the meniscus, lessening the floatability (is that a
word) of the line. IE the soap acts as a "wetting agent." But I don't
know if the science supports my conclusion, so maybe its time for
those with more chem than I to weigh in.
