Braided downrigger cable

[scottjurgen]

Does anyone have experience with using 200lb test braided line on their downriggers?

It is possible that the folks that were using it yesterday are still out on the water trying to scrape the fleas off it Seriously though even the wire isn't immune to the fleas right now.

Les,

 

Just a thought ... has anyone tried waxing the cable or braid line ... perhaps with a paraffin block while rewinding?

 

More overkill?

There is probably one of us OCD nuts out there that has tried it or something similar. The long and short of it is there probably isn't any easy answer to the riddle....we're stuck frequently checking/cleaning our lines before the huge build-ups.
