Midstream, midday when the floating line is starting to become a sink
tip line I have considered giving it a cleaning with Albolene to see
if that would help. A little wash and dry. But I'm not sure what the
outcome will be, so I have yet to do it.

Will this help, make it worse, strip the coating off the line?
I know there are products available for line cleaning but I am wondering
specifically about Aldolene.
(you never know when midstream you may need to get lipstick off you
flyline ;-)
Comments....


I tried it on my fly-line when I first read about it on ROFF, but
didn't notice it making any particular difference. Since then I just
use the cleaner that comes with the line (Cortland), and have found that
the most important things seems to be doing *regular* cleanings, rather
than finding any special concoction to dress the line with.

Obviously, YMMV and since this is ROFF, it most likely will. :-)
