Kryston Greased Lightning

[Mr Cholmondeley-Corker (PaSC)]

Anyone use this?

Kryston Greased Lightning is marketed as a line treatment for improving distance when casting. It allows the line to flow better off the spool and through the rings (it contains a number of different silicones)- think of it as acting like hair conditioner.

HOWEVER - here is the good bit. Something that isn't mentioned up front.

It is also a perfect line floatant.

I will be using on my line this season when trotting. JUst a few drops on the spool allowed to soak in for a few minutes then you're away.

It is now available in a clear colour as opposed to its original blue. And one bottle will last about 30 years!

Nice one Corkey - Also I’m not so interested in the casting aspect but it supposedly eliminates wind knots, increases abrasion resistance and repels algae. And, during ‘Artic’ conditions, prevents ice beads forming on mono – I’ll give it a whirl.

Yes thanks for reminding me. It is good in cold conditions to prevent your rod rings icing up.

I bet Unc will send you a freebie now Corkie.

Almost all greases or oils will make lines float.

I use Mucilin (sold for fly lines) to make my line float when drifter fishing for pike.

If you then want to revert back to sinking line, use washing up liquid.

Why would he do that? I just bought a bottle off him that will last 30 years

Cheaper as well
Corky, if that stuff really lasted 30 years Kryston would be out of business

I hear that if it's drunk it coats the anal passage and the s+ite just flys out!
