VHawk,

Noone fishes distilled water,I've no monopoly on that constant.

I've no disdain for distilled water,as a means of personal hydration,I simply can't correlate it as a real world hurdle,for fishing line.

A 45 minute soak is moot.

As an aside,"obtuse" is my favorite float shape and I'm typically guilty of employing the obtusest of them all.

(We call them round.)
