Line Conditioner:worth It Or A Gimmick ?

[KDW96]

I was just wondering if this stuff is worth the money.And if so what brand . There are many out

there. Thanks everyone........

Not a Gimmick. KVD line & Lure is the one that I use.

[j.bruno]

I use it. Works wonders like the other guy said try the kvd line and lure.

[The Rooster]

KVD line conditioner is the real deal, especially on spinning gear. Line management and castibility have never been better since i started using it.

[roadwarrior]

KVD Line & Lure Conditioner is THE BOMB!

[K_Mac]

I use it and recommend it.

[LgMouthGambler]

Another for KVD

[Jake P]

would never go fishing without a bottle of kvd l&l. it's an incredible investment.

[j.bruno]

I douse my spools with kvd the night before my fishing trips.

KVD Line and Lure works great even though I thought it was all hype at first. Try it on some soft line like Trilene XL, and it's like fishing with sewing thread. Love that stuff.

It isn't a gimmick and it does work, but so does warm water out of the tap. I bought a bottle a couple of years, was not dis satisfied, but not overly impressed either, not enough to purchase it again.

It does a great job softening up stiff line to make it more manageable. I don't use it often because of the price but it can make life a lot easier if you're having line problems.

[fishking247]

never used anything like it. when my line is old i re spool. braid lasts forever and mono is cheap enough for me to replace once a month. i don't use fluoro but it seems a lot of guys need to use line conditioner in order for fluoro to behave properly

I haven't used the KVD brand. I use Reelmajic on my braid and it works well. Less tangles. It says it can't be used on Floro. So I'm thinking I will try the KVD brand too.

The thing about KVD L&L, is that it is a polymer based product. The majority of other products are petroleum based. L&L will actually bond to your line and not wash off like other products. It will also not harm your reels or attract dirt, etc. I am able to use flourocarbon for a long time by using L&L, because it keeps it manageable. That really helps, considering the cost of flouro.

I used KVD's brand when necessary. I used to use it on braid, but no longer, and since I've spooled my spinning gear with braid mainline, I don't use it much at all except on baitcasters w/o braid. I've only bought one bottle of it and still have plenty left.

But I do believe it works as claimed. Buy at least one bottle and give it a try, only then will you really be convinced - or not.

Read the bottle of reel magic again...you misread that fluorocarbon. Thing.

Can I ask why? I've only had braid for a little while and haven't been able to see if there is a difference by using KVD, but if it won't help braid any, I would be able to save it a bit by only putting it on one reel.

That said, I did notice a dramatic positive effect on my baitcaster with mono. I got twice the distance with half the effort and it greatly reduced my overruns.

I simply didn't find it necessary on PowerPro. Didn't make much, if any difference, that I could detect. On mono or FC, yeah, makes a diff.

I've read it's great for all lines, even braid, but just didn't seem to live up to the braid claim in my experience. Thought it a waste of a $9 bottle of KVD to spray it on braid. But I bet there are some guys on this forum that have a different opinion.

Perhaps a different brand of braid responds differently. Pretty much just use PP any more.

Im with this guy. The real deal

[iceintheveins]

The KVD line and lure is worth every penny. It really reduces tangles and line memory, and you get some extra casting distance too. One bottle lasts about half a season for me.

No he didn't. The aerosol can of Reel magic can't be use on Flourocarbon. Says right on it.
