Gasoline and braided line

[fishnotphish]

I'd soak it in hot, soapy water overnight, rinse well, and then spray it with some Reel Fast (I think that's what it's called) line conditioner.

You could also spool it on a reel and then let it all out behind the boat for a mile or so at troll speed.

That sounds like the best option Thanks Rocky

This is a perfect chance to try an experiment.
Next trip use gas tainted line and build the exact same rig on a clean line.
Fish them relatively close to each other and see which one out performs the other.
Please post results.

I am also interested in the results; however, given the cost of fuel and potentially limited time on the water, you might consider just throwing away the line. Gas and oil scent won’t come out easily.

On the other hand, while I’m highly skeptical, maybe the scent could actually attract fish. If the WD-40 myths are true, perhaps a petroleum dip will draw in the big one.
