I have read the five page post by Castamasta on how great this stuff is. I all most want to think all you guys must have stock in the company. Most of you say to just spray it on your reel and let it stay over night. I find it hard to beleive that it will penetrate all the loops on the spool in order to be effective. Could some one who has used it explain this . Thanks

I just respooled last night and used KVD line conditioner.  I gave it a couple pumps as I spooled up.  I noticed an immediate difference in the way the line feels, will have to see how it casts tomorrow.

I don't know the preferred technique to recondition, but this is my plan.  On the last cast of the day tie on something heavy and hurl it on out there.  Spray, reel half way in, spray, all the way in, spray.  Should get some conditioner on all of the "working" line.

Step One:

Spray all of you filler spools.

Step two:

Either run your line through a towel sprayed with KVD or spray it

directly on the line every ten turns or so as you spool on new line.

Step three:

Let the conditioner dry, overnight is best.

The "magic" is in the bonding. KVD Line & Lure Conditioner is not a coating, it is absorbed by the line. This becomes a molecular bond which is permanent.

It's a public company?  If so, it may be a good investment.  That stuff rules!

BTW, for the most effective application while you are spooling your reel you want to run the line through a rag with the conditioner sprayed on it.  Then you will ensure that you have a good initial application.  After that spraying it on the spool will work through enough to get the line you actually use.  

I doubt that you can use too much of it, so I need to also follow RW's advice and spray my filler spools!

You could try Bass Pro Shops online, and that's for sure you'll find it there.  The product is outstanding, a MUST for any angler in any condition....even for Saltwater.

What special do they have on this stuff for members? How does it compare to reel magic?

I used reel magic till about 2 months ago reel magic is good for dashboards or floormats

I picked up a bottle of this stuff today at dick's sporting goods. A couple of weeks ago I used reel magic on my line. If I apply this to my line now will it cause a problem because of the reel magic. The website says not to use on line that has been treated with something else. Any advice...

Yep, strip off the old line and respool with fresh new line, then apply. The KVD stuff needs to be able to bond to your line, and if your line was already treated with Reel Magic, WD-40 or other such products that have already coated or been absorbed by your line, they will prevent the KVD stuff from bonding.

Yesterday got a chance to get out there for a few hours yesterday.  I think the KVD stuff made all the difference.  15 lb flouro was casting like a breeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzeeeeeee

I just ordered a bottle based on this thread. Is it possible to apply this product to line that is already on my reels? If not, I change line frequently throughout the fishing season and am clear on how to apply it while putting on new line. I assume that I could spray it on my line that's already on a reel and then pull several yards off the spool and spray it again to treat line further down in the spool on the reel.

Its always better to ask before I waste any of what sounds like an awesome product!

You can apply it to line on reels as long as they have not been treated by any other product.  

I'm not sure how many layers it gets down into on already spooled line and can't recommend much there.  Anybody?
