OG Crankster Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 I see that BPS has their line conditioner on sale for 4.97. Just curious to see if anyone has used this before and how it compares to others such as the KVD version. Thanks. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted January 19, 2020 Global Moderator Posted January 19, 2020 The KVD is a proven product that is consistent and works better than all the other off shoots. You know what you’re getting. If you need to save a buck or so give it a try. I tend to stick with what I know. Mike 6 Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted January 19, 2020 Super User Posted January 19, 2020 Since starting to use KVD, I've never had a need to try anything else. On mono or YZH, it just works. 1 Quote

OG Crankster Posted January 19, 2020 Author Posted January 19, 2020 I agree and do use KVD. I saw the BPS stuff for a great price and had hoped someone had tried it. I just got back from BPS and picked some up along with some Big Game. Ill give it a try come spring time. 1 Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted January 20, 2020 Super User Posted January 20, 2020 Due to KVD's relationship with BPS - it would be great if the BPS stuff was just re-labeled KVD line treatment (most likely it is not ...) . 1 Quote
johnD. Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 If you're looking to save money, buy it in bigger containers. They make a 16 oz bottle and you can also buy 1 gallon. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted January 21, 2020 Super User Posted January 21, 2020 I'll go against the grain here. I used KVD for years, and it works great. In fact, it's the best. However, I have also bought the BPS line conditioner, and guess what? It seems to perform just as well. So with that, I recommend both, and buy whatever is most easily available to you. I personally have a few bottles around of each my garage, bank bag, and in the boat. 2 Quote

I'm not necessarily looking to save a buck, but if it works just as well as KVD and I can get a 6oz bottle for 4.97, I think it's a good deal. 1 Quote
Steveo-1969 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I've used both and didn't see a difference either. I ran out of KVD L&L and was making an order online at BPS because I had a giftcard so I added a bottle of BPS brand line conditioner. I use it on a baitcasting reel spooled with 10# fluorocarbon or mono. Applied to the spool the night before I go fishing. Quote
