What does everybody use .Why I ask is that in Ireland we have a new invasive species alert over the Asian Clam. Virkon is about the best but hugely impractical (expensive) for the individual angler .I myself have been using boiling water and now and again use a very weak solution of jeyes fluid (washed and dried before use). There are some people who are advocating the use of a weak solution of bleach (1000:1 )and well rinsed off and dried .I am not a chemist but would have thought after a time the bleach would contaminate the equipment and give off a smell and eventually rot nets etc,Also if everybody used it would it eventually cause an impact on the water quality.
