TRYTOFISH Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Only brand ive ever used was KVD. Now at can't seem to find it locally at Gander or Cabelas. is Reel Magic or Ardent as good? Quote
moguy1973 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Just order it from Tack Warehouse or Bass Pro Quote
BASSHUNTER1961 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 I used Reel Magic 15 years ago, and it worked fine. Many say it softens the line and ruins it, but I never had an issue with it, and I used it for years. Now that I use braid, I do not have the need for any line conditioner. Quote
Brian Needham Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 just get a gallon from tackle warehouse 1 Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted September 30, 2012 Global Moderator Posted September 30, 2012 I used the line butter once and gave the bottle away. I applied it the night before. I made my first cast and noticed that it left a slick on the water when the line it the water. I use Line and Lure Mike Quote
Loop_Dad Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 I wonder if I can use my daughter's hair conditioner / detangler. That stuff makes hair slippy and cannot imagine that contains some strong stuff in it... Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted October 1, 2012 Super User Posted October 1, 2012 I have never used anything but KVD, but it works so well I don't plan on using anything else at this time. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 1 Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted October 1, 2012 Super User Posted October 1, 2012 just get a gallon from tackle warehouse I had to check, I had no idea they actually sold it by the gallon! lol Quote
Brian Needham Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I had to check, I had no idea they actually sold it by the gallon! lol its SO MUCH cheaper in the gallon then just pour it in a spray bottle and you good to go. I got really tired of $8 for 4 oz. Quote
kylek Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I use the Reel Magic right now and it seems to work pretty well. With that said, when this bottle is empty I plan on trying out the KVD L&L conditioner. Quote
The Next KVD Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 KVD Lind and Lure is the real deal. Buy the gallon and you won't have to restock for quite some time. Quote

I think you'll be pleased. I am. 1 Quote
NitroZ9 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Something else about Line and Lure is that it is a blend of polymers and actually bonds to the line, so it won't wash off or damage your line. Most of the other products are silicone oil and solvents and just coat the line. Also, since Line and Lure is polymer based, it won't harm your reels or attract dirt. You can also go to www.lineandlure.com to purchase. It really works great on flourocarbon too. Quote
JigMe Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Try some KVD on the braid. I think you'll be pleased. I am. I have never tried it on Braided lines, since it is casting quiet well already. Maybe, I should give it a try. Quote
M-D Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Love the KVD line conditioner, thanks for the tip on the gallon option. I just ordered a gallon from TW and will be splitting it up among a few club members. Works out to just over $.50/ounce. Quote
