Care of the Line Whether one uses a hard or soft enameled, level or tapered line it should be given proper care as a well-treated line improves with use and a good one should last several seasons of hard fishing. The best and simplest treatment for a hard enameled line is an occasional rubbing with the line dressing the line manufacturers make for the purpose. Vacuum lines should be frequently dressed with deer fat or mutton tallow. This is sold in flat tin boxes and the best way to apply it is to run the line through it, taking care that the line does not rub against the sharp edge of the box. Then rub it down thoroughly with a pigskin line greaser or an old leather glove. This treatment is used primarily to make the line float for dry fly fishing but it also serves to keep the line supple and in good condition. After being long in use a vacuum dressed line can be returned to the factory for re-enameling at a nominal charge, which is one of the advantages of having an American-made line. |
