Floating Line That Sinks

[stoby1]

I picked up a floating line (Airflo) a month ago and have used it half a dozen times. Noticed the front 6 feet or so are now sinking. I've cleaned the line but this doesn't seem to help. Is this common and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks

Return it to where you bought it!

If you had to put a loop end on it chances are it wasn't sealed. (Most Airflo lines I've bought don't have a welded loop) Water gets inside the line gradually, making it sink. It can be dried and sealed though.

Check to see if there are any cracks or dings in the line also. I agree if given time it may dry out.
