Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted August 26, 2015 Super User Posted August 26, 2015 so i used some KVD L&L on my 14 lb. Sunline Sniper and noticed my line getting a little chalky , the L&L has done nothing that i can see to improve the line , anyone have any issues like this ?? Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted August 26, 2015 Super User Posted August 26, 2015 I throw sniper on a handful of reels. I also use l&l when I remember to apply it. I've never had any issues. It does seem to tame it down. I use 16 and 20. Never tried anything under those. Quote

Global Moderator Mike L Posted August 26, 2015 Global Moderator Posted August 26, 2015 I use 16# Sniper and have used L&L on it since I put it on.. I also use it on ALL lines, including braid, and have never had a problem of any kind useing it. Maybe you got a very old bottle and didn't shake it enough...I don't know, just a thought. Mike Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted August 26, 2015 Super User Posted August 26, 2015 i'm wondering if i should just not use the L & L conditioner on it . I use #16 on my main T rig rod and it's usually not with l&l. I think it handles fine. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted August 26, 2015 Author Super User Posted August 26, 2015 here's a picture of the line on the reel , notice that it looks chakly , not clear like it should be Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted August 26, 2015 Super User Posted August 26, 2015 l&l is a whiteish liquid. That's pretty normal from my experience. It'll even leave white spots on your reel if you go crazy with it. Quote
Super User WRB Posted August 26, 2015 Super User Posted August 26, 2015 I use a product called TangleFree works good and apply it as needed during the outing on all my reels. KVD works by coating the line with a residue so the line will wet with water, FC doesn't wet so it needs a coating. TangleFree is a clear liquid coating that reduces line memory and wets the line, works differently than KVD. Tom 2 Quote

aprilbass101 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 I use L&L on 10# & 12# Sniper & never had any chalky residue that I've notice but has definitely help tamed the line on my baitcasters! Quote
tater555 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 How old is the line on that reel? My seagar red label will get like that every once in a while, but once I spray it with l&l it seems to clear up. I don't treat my lines every use, just like once a week and it seems to work pretty good for me. Just shake it up good and spray it on before you go to bed so that it has all night to "work its magic" 2-3 squirts is plenty Quote

cottny27 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 That line looks like mine, but I don't think its a problem. KVD is the best I've used and I've tried a few with all of them being oily as heck. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted August 27, 2015 Super User Posted August 27, 2015 I use Sniper in 12 and 14lb. in tandem with KVD L&L and I have never had any issues. Give it a good heavy spray the night before, and then hit it again in the morning before you leave. Works great for me. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 L&L is a polymer coating that doesn't degrade the line like Reel Magic / WD-40 etc. I'm sure it's fine. Not familiar with the Tangle Free brand. Quote
dam0007 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I had a thread awhile back and experienced the same thing. Instead of spraying it night before every outing I'm only using it when needed. Milky color has since went away. Quote
