Introducing Cortland's Fly Line Cleaner, an essential tool for modern fly line care. This cleaner comes in a convenient 2oz bottle, accompanied by dry pads for easy application. Whether you're a guide, captain, or dedicated angler, this cleaner is perfect for efficiently cleaning multiple lines.
Key Guidelines for Fly Line Care:
1. Keep Fly Line Clean: Regularly cleaning your fly line is crucial for maintaining its performance. Cortland's Fly Line Cleaner helps remove dirt, debris, and built-up grime, ensuring your line stays in optimal condition for smooth casts and accurate presentations.
2. Stretch Fly Line: Periodically stretching your fly line helps eliminate memory and restore its original shape. This improves line performance and reduces the likelihood of tangles during casting. Take a moment to stretch your line before each fishing session for optimal results.
3. Avoid High Heat and Solvents: Protect your fly line by keeping it away from excessive heat and harsh solvents. High temperatures can cause the line to deform or even melt, compromising its integrity. Similarly, solvents can deteriorate the line's coating, leading to reduced buoyancy and casting performance.
4. Handle with Care: Physical damage to the fly line, such as nicks or cuts, can impact its performance. Be mindful when handling the line and avoid sharp objects or abrasive surfaces that could cause unnecessary wear and tear.
How to Use Cortland's Fly Line Cleaner:
1. Apply a Few Drops of Lubricant: Start by applying a few drops of the provided lubricant onto a dry pad. This ensures even distribution and effective cleaning of the fly line.
2. Strip the Fly Line off the Reel: Strip the entire length of the fly line off the reel and onto a clean surface. This allows easy access for cleaning and ensures thorough coverage.
3. Pinch the Pad Around the Fly Line: Pinch the dry pad around the fly line, firmly but gently. With a secure grip, retrieve the fly line back onto the reel. This action effectively applies the cleaner to the line, removing dirt and residue.
By following these guidelines and utilizing Cortland's Fly Line Cleaner, you can extend the lifespan and performance of your fly line. Enjoy smoother casts, improved accuracy, and hassle-free fishing with properly maintained fly lines.
