I quick way to add a little more distance is to stretch your line and clean it regularly.  I took a lesson at bean once and the first thing the instructor showed us was how he stretches his line and then wipes it down.  It helps it lay out flat and gets you a little more distance.

if you fish the salt, armourall and a stretch first thing works well,  soak the line a few minutes in cold water at night and repeat with the armour just before the next days fishing.

A great way to add distance and ease aggravation is to use a stripping basket... I started using them in the salt and now use it when freshwater fly fishing. Take a bit to get used to using, but once you do, you can't help but have a little laugh at anyone that does not use one...

Just my .02. Take it or leave it from someone that sold a good amount of fly lines working in a fly shop.

If you want to clean your lines, use soap and water or a proper fly line dressing. It’s not much more than armor all. Guys use Armor All and Rain X, but it’s a short term solution and ultimately hurts the line.

“For years people said that ArmorAll could be used to clean and condition fly lines. What we know now is that they actually reduce the effective lifespan of the line. This is due to the chemicals in ArmorAll reacting with the plasticizers in our coating and actually drying it out. This can lead to premature cracking and line failure. ~”

Absolutely!....mild soap and water and a good rinse is all you need to do.

Yes wash with soap and water and dry .. then treat with muclin silicone fly line dressing  the silicone dressing helps float higher when using floating lines now intermediate and sinking just wash and dry ..
