Scientific Anglers Fly Line Cleaner

Fly lines take a fair amount of abuse when out in the field — muddy shorelines, dirty water and being stepped on continuously. This can all have an effect on the performance and longevity of the line. That dirt builds up on the surface of the line, inhibiting casting distance and also causing floating lines to sink.
Scientific Anglers has now developed a cleaning solution specifically designed for their AST and AST+ fly lines, but it works on all fly lines. The new fly line cleaner improves floatation and restores slickness and shootability.
Place 1 tablespoon of fly line cleaner in 4–5 litres of warm water and strip fly line into solution. Allow to sit for 5–10 minutes then run the line through a soft clean cloth a few times to remove any stubborn contaminants. Rinse the remaining residue off in warm water and the line is ready for use. Lab tests show an average increase in slickness of 13% over uncleaned lines.
