I recently had a back up in the basement. Yep, my fishing gear was down there, tying room etc. after cleaning it up, im left wondering, would the lines still be good? Can I was them , and treat them and haave them stilll be decent? thanks

Good Day,

 

Depends... if the lines are cracked, good luck... If they are not cracked you have a better chance at reviving them. Here is a link:

Also, keep in mind it is important to clean your line after EVERY outing. I have used baby wipes with out any problems. There are also line conditioners out on the market.

A soft rag, warm water and gentle hand soap works well too.
