Line conditioner

[fishwizzard]

I use KVD Line Conditioner on all my non-braid reels, a heavy application while spooling up, then a good spray the night before I take a reel out.  I have a pair of UL/L spinning combos that I really only use for perch and panfish.  I only fish for them every few months and the difference in line behavior (I have used YZH, Treline XL, Stren Mono, and a few cheap floros) is huge when I spray it the night before compared to when I don't.

I use sunline in 12 and 16 lb and use kvd conditioner i feel like it helps the line last longer and prevents damage from over runs but it is not needed for line the quality of sunline but for cheaper fc or mono it will really help. I fished 17lb stren and line conditioner really improved the efficiency of a really stiff line. Don't use on braid it will wash the color out of the line in a hurry.

 

 

Line and lure, "braid aid conditioner", or straight up silicone spray won't wash way the coating. Just the opposite actually. I have a reel with red PP that's been spooled for 4 seasons and has lost little color.

 

Reel magic on the other hand will as its a solvent that's petroleum based.

I'm a fan of reelsnot myself and it's not needed but after fishing a couple times without it the using it on my sunline sniper I would say it's necessary it really does help

KVD L&L for sure, I really think it helps on FC and mono quite a bit. I use it on braid at times but really don't need to. Reel magic is good for 1 thing. It keeps guides from iceing up in winter weather. I tried Ardents line conditioner once and it was like dipping my reels in bacon fat. I had to break down every reel and give them a complete cleaning. It even made it to the spool bearings, total mess

I use KVD Line and Lure rebelliously, there is no smell or residue at all. It really does make your line a lot more manageable. I spray 3 to 6 sprays on my spool twice a trip. For the first application on new line, you do need to let it sit for at least 12 hours though. It is harmless on a reel and I even used it as a temporary lube once when a reel was making noise and it worked.

I use kvd line & lure on my fluoro set ups and it works.
