Another option is the non sticky medical gauze/tape. Wes turned me onto this stuff and it rocks. It sticks to itself much like velco and add the end of the day it removes easily with no residue. You can find it nowadays in the medical sections of most supermarkets. It is either white or beige. Make sure you get the self sticking kind.

You have a few options: 1. build a callous 2. duct tape, I used this for years 3. the little spandex stripping things to go over your fingers. I think they sell them at a few shops in the area now. This is what I use today and they work great.

I was stripping in line pretty quickly when I noticed the fingers I was stripping through were bleeding. It started to get pretty painful after a couple of hours of fishing. After I got home, I checked the line for cracks and rough spots and found none. I cleaned and conditioned the line with Cortland Line Cleaner/Conditioner and let it sit overnight before I wiped it down. I checked the guides in my rod for rough spots and found none. Anyway, the last couple of times I've been out, the same thing has happened. I've tried changing how I hold the line, the angle, etc. The line is less than a season old. It's an WF8F Cortland 555 Rocket Taper. Do I just need to build up a callous spot? Thanks, Brent _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
