Figured out a cure for this. Before first use or taken out of storage for
the winter, apply some flexament or other sealer to the very end of the
line. The line absorbs water through the core and this is what causes it

to
sink. Doesn't happen anymore unless I get little cracks in the line from
use.

that, and after a couple of false casts and I will dress the first few feet
of a line while I am on the shore. Actually, I have some old Cortland
patches and I put a dollop of Dab (by Cortland) on the old patch and use
that while I am stream side....works great. Makes that line sit right on top
of the water. I'll even dress the first few feet of my leader at times.
