An apparatus for treating a filamentary material, such as fishline, in such a way that the filamentary material is cleaned and treated as by having a treating fluid applied thereto. The apparatus includes an elongated tubular enclosure which has opposed open ends and which surrounds a given axis, this enclosure being longitudinally split and composed of a pair of units which have inner surfaces which engage each other when these units are in an operative position where the enclosure surrounds the above axis. Each of the units is formed at its inner surface with a longitudinal recess extending along the entire length of each unit and having a pair of longitudinally spaced constricted portions. The constricted portions of one recess are aligned with the constricted portions of the other recess when the units are in their operative position, so that in this way the enclosure has a hollow interior which is constricted at a pair of longitudinally spaced locations. An absorbent material is situated in each of the recesses, so that the absorbent materials in the two recesses engage each other when the units are in their operative position, and between the constricted portions of each recess the absorbent material therein is provided with a treating fluid.
