Scotch Gaurd Not Safe For Fly Line!

[flyrodman]

I wasn't suggesting anyone should use any of that stuff, they were just some considerations I had myself when I was trying to make an old line fishable for another week or so until I could scrape up the coin for a new one.

The reel grease worked like a charm, just sayin'.

As for being concerned about the fish smelling it... Nope, they told me before I released them that they never even caught a whiff.

Rain X works pretty well for me.

I'd assume that anything that is hydrophobic would work pretty well. I, like Brian, have used Glide for years. It lasts pretty well, however, I am going to see if I can scare up some Zipcast and try it.
