KVD line conditioner good for mono?

[Team9nine]

KVD L&L? No idea if it works - have never had the need to use it. But I am impressed with the resurrection and quoting of an 8 year old post  Nicely done guys

Eight years later and still using the product as well as recommending it to others.

What is the big deal, if you do not want to use it, don't use it.  I do and have on all lines and it works and my lines do not turn chalky, bleached, purple, blue, or yellow with polka dots.

 

Boy, this subject is getting beaten to death and this is what the company says:

 

"Line & Lure is a special polymer blend that becomes part of the fishing line it is applied to. Other line treatments you find on the market are primarily silicone oil and solvents. Silicone oil only temporarily coats the line and solvents can damage line. Silicone oil rapidly comes off the line (on your hands and in the water), requiring re-treatment of the line after just a few casts.

The special polymers in Line & Lure are hydrophobic (water repelling) and very slippery. It doesn't allow water to draw back on to the reel spool, which eliminates the line drag that a "wet" spool has. It also protects the line from wearing out as quickly as un-treated line because it resists the abrasion that wears line out.  It contains no oils or solvents as in Reel Magic that can build up and collect dirt like silicone/oil treatments will".

I was introduced to this product at one of the Bass Resource RoadTrips. We all got free samples. Been using, and recommending it, ever since.

 

One note of caution when applying L&L with a rag. Do not use cotton. This is straight from the people who make the product. They told us this when they introduce it to us, and explained it's benefits and application. Something about interfering with the ionic bond between the line and the product. I've slept a couple of times since that trip, so I dont remember the details.

 

I have always suspected the reports of the product not working as advertised being the result of the use of cotton during application.

WOW! 8 Years! L&LC still working...well, I don't use it

much these days, with braid and all that. Though I do

have a bottle still. S'pose I could use it on my braided

main line....

I've found the best and most economical way to apply it when spooling is to use a nylon.

You use less and for the reason .ghoti posted.

Mike, can we assume while using said nylon to apply KVD to your line, the nylon was not being used in it's original capacity?

Yes Sir,

However, as in most things timing is everything!
