Hi Wacokid;

Yes, I think that is my testimonial and I buy it from Jerry at reeldots. He's a great guy, I met him and several others from FAOL at the VA flyfishing festival last year. I've tried it on cortland 333 & lazeline, Orvis clearwater, JK'S Angler's Roost bargain lines,Airflow tru-cast,Scientific anglers headstart & the bargain lines that Wally world sells. It really makes a big difference on lines that start out with poor surface slickness such as the Wally world's line. After treating it the line was as good as any other I use. The way I use it is as soon as I feel my fly line is starting to stick to the guides, I reapply with a small pad like a gun cleaning cloth, just a few drops on the pad does the trick. For me it's typically two or three outings in pond water before my lines need to be re-treated. One outing I was really having trouble with duckweed sticking to my line and I applied zipcast right then and there and it made a big difference. That was a really scummy pond!

I used to use the cleaner supplied with Cortland lines and it doesn't work anything like Zipcast, that and your supposed to clean your line prior to applying the Cortland treatment. Zipcast cleans and treats in one application, much easier and faster.
