It's salt and grit as well as small micro-bumps on many flylines that
aid in "shootibility." I have used good ol' duct tape for many years.

I am curious to know if any of you have had this
experience or any comments/suggestions:
I was fishing for coho on a beach on Whidbey. 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
