The Glide Fly Line Cleaning Kit offers fly fishermen a quick and very effective way to clean your fly lines. The convenient cleaning box has four cleaning felt pads that can be flipped and rotated for years of use. We find the Glide dressing to be a great cleaner and adds incredible distance to your casts.
If you don't clean your fly line on a regular basis you are crazy! Why are you making fly casting difficult on yourself? You will be blown away with how much farther you can cast with significantly less energy when you are casting a freshly cleaned and dressed line.
We recommend you clean your fly lines before and/or after EVERY use! Yes, believe it or not, that often! This is especially true in the saltwater. In fact, in the warm, high salt content tropics, we recommend to clean and dress your line multiple times throughout the day while on the flats. Sight casting greatly benefits from non-sticky, clean lines.
Cleaning your fly lines will not only help you cast further and with less effort, but will also add precision and accuracy to your casts. This becomes especially true with light dry fly fishing. Another perk is that your lines will last years longer without premature cracking.
''I have actively taught casting lessons for over 12 years, and can't stress enough the importance of cleaning your fly line. Quite often students show up to take a casting lesson with dirty, tacky fly lines. These tacky lines actually help create bad habits with overpowering and punching your fly casts! Try casting effortlessly with slick lines cleaned with Glide dressing.'' Dave C.
Extra Glide Cleaning Boxescan be purchased. We find it is a good idea to have a few extra cleaning boxes for your various tackle bags and vests.
