Wetting the line

[basshunter]

I just read a little article about how it is beneficial to wet the line before your first cast. It said some anglers bring spray bottles to accomplish this task. Does anyone practice this?

[Frankiesurf]

Only when it is raining or I am swimming to a rock do I do it on the first cast, otherwise it is done on my second cast. :rolleyes:

[Doublerunner]

I have not done that...at least not on purpose

But I do typically start with short casts and then increase distance a little bit at a time

[finchaser]

never done it

[surfwalker]

No, I've never wet the line before the first cast. I just walk to the edge and let it fly.

With mono it used to be a practice to soak the spool of line in warm water for awhile before spooling it on a reel to soften it up a bit and to leave it in the bucket while spooling it onto the reel to put some drag on the line to spool it a little tighter.Other than that I don't wet my line.I don't think that would be beneficial for braid.

My uncle wets the line on his first cast. He actually brings a spray bottle along. I don't even see the point in it.

Throuw the line out and it gets wet, its not brain surgery.
