A gent I exchange FFing info with mentioned Zipcast as raved about it
as THE line treatment of choice.

Nobody seems to carry it in fly shops. Anyone here use it?


LL ( who ordered some online and will report, but is curious about
YOUR experiences, nonetheless :-)

The quote at the Zipcast site says: "Other than taking a casting lesson, I
know of no other way to immediately add 10 feet to your best cast.

That could be, but the new Sharkskin line by Sci Anglers added *twenty*
feet to my best cast. It is expensive but well worth the extra money imho
because it not only increases the distance of your casts, but is the
easiest mending fly line I have ever used.

I have used Zipcast on other lines, and it works fine. Sheesh - if it'll
add *another* ten feet to my Sharskin, I'll be casting into my backing!
BTW, the only thing I currently use on all my Sharkskins is a mild soap
and water bath/rinse.

Give it a try and get back to us on it.

Dave,

To me the easier mending means the higher floating...or am I missing
something...
