Seaguar Red Label and Line Conditoner

[Kywih]

Would using kvd line conditioner help with the memory on red label? I was thinking about getting some KVD conditioner but haven’t bothered to order it. I’ve read a review that said line conditioner would getting rid of coating on red label.

I'm not a scientist, didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I believe that KVD L&L Conditioner doesn't get rid of anything, in fact, I think it bonds to the line.

 

 

Someone much smarter than I will comment.

[Mike L]

I’m certainly not smarter than anyone 

but I’ve never heard that. 

I don’t use red label for anything but can’t believe it would. 
 

It coats the line but Never heard of, or read about any disclaimer.

yeah it sounds far fetched but the person could’ve been using like reel magic and that stuff is just horrible.

I'm not aware of any coating on Red Label line.  KVD L&L only improves handling of all line and I've never had any negative effects using it for more than a decade.

I don’t have KVD line conditioner but do have Red Label from 6# to 20#.  I have it on bc and spinning setups.  I don’t use anything on it.

"I know a guy"....the guy who invented KVD L&L.  He used to advertise here.  He's a passionate angler and wouldn't be happy with anything that damages line. His product doesn't remove any line coatings or damage any line.  Rather than remove anything, it literally fills in the microscopic pockets and abnormalities in line, thus making them smoother and more supple.

Use it on all my reels. Never any issues.

Don't use KVD on braid, but everything else. Even made 12# YZH manageable on my Trion-35 spinning reel. I won't switch to anything else - KVD is the one.

[J Francho]

I've used KVD on braid for years.  It helps slow down fading, but doesn't do anything else.

[Columbia Craw]

I use it on Red Label and it helps reduce memory and adds a slicker feel to the exterior.

Used it on red label for years with no issues.

I dint know if any coating on red label or any of the seaguar fluoros. I seriously doubt they’re least fluorocarbon line has some coating on it the other lines don’t. The line conditioner works 

[RDB]

I used it on 2 reels and didn’t like it.  I use fluoro and felt like it made my line look cloudy (kind of milky like the color in the bottle).  I had a few of my partners compare and they agreed there was a clarity difference.  Might have just been a bad batch or user error but I’ll just stick to a good line stretch if I have memory issues.

 

Edit:  I use Sniper or Tatsu so I can’t speak to Red Label.

Few people know you have to shake it every time before you spray it.  I told him to add that to the directions on the bottle.  Not sure if he did or not.

I always shake any pump-spray bottle before use as a matter of course.

 

Just looked at my 16oz-size. First item under Directions is 'Shake well before use'.

I can’t remember if I shook it or not.  It was well over a year ago since I used it.  I’m usually pretty good about following instructions though ?.  I have several reels that I don’t use that are spooled with fluoro.  I’ll spray some on and take before and after pictures.

Be sure to spray several pumps on a paper towel after shaking it, to ensure you're using the mixed (shaken) product and not the unshaken product currently in the pickup tube.

I only use Seaguar Red Label FC and have been applying KVD Line conditioner on it for years. I also apply it on my braid and monofilament. In fact not to long ago I bought a lifetime supply.

[Mike L]

My money is on you forgot to shake it up good and not just once to do a bunch of reels. 
 

I use Sniper also and never saw any residue or change in color. 
 

In my opinion, Sniper and Tatsu really don’t need it but I do it anyway, especially from 16# and up.

The only line conditioner you need for Red Label

 

It sounds like some others have had a good experience with that line, but for me personally I have tried it several times and I’ve always found it’s best that it ends up in the same place.

Where's the challenge in using quality fluorocarbon? ?
