The Armorall thing, I have always heard do not put a pertrolium product on pertrolium product. It might not hurt your line, but what is it doing to the water? .........................
........................ Though your concern is valid it may be out of place. If you are concerned about that little bit of petroleum I presume that you don't use a silcone based floatant or oil based floatant and don't use nylon tippet or flourocarbon tippet. We leave a lot more of that in the environment that what one leaves armorall on the water.
I was thinking more the film it leaves on the water distracting the fish (colors do weird things and wondering what colors are disspelled by armoral) I agree on the other non enviromental stuff.
Plus, doesn't a petrolium product on another petrolium product cause a reaction in some cases. I know armoral is safe on vinyl, rubber, and other stuff, but not sure what fly line is made out of, what does it do to the line over time. I mean DEET will eat fly line, but it doesn't hurt rubber or vinyl.
Just a thought. Why not use Armoral, I put some on my motorcycle seat ONCE and found out real quick how slick it makes that.[laugh][laugh]
