KVD line conditioner.....I stopped using it. Anyone else?

[Rob Faddis]

Hey everyone,

We are really sorry to hear that some of you are experiencing problems with Line & Lure. As Glenn said, we have heard a handful of times over the last 5 years of people who have had some issues with their line while using our line conditioner. In a majority of cases that we have been able to investigate, we have found that the customer had contaminated the line with a reel oil or cleaning solvent. In some cases, our product was confused with another oil based line conditioner that did deteriorate the line. In other cases we have found that the line was damaged from abrasion during use or was deformed during the manufacturing process (it happens) or that the manufacturer released a bad batch of line that was inherently defective.

We do extensive tests with most popular lines and we have found that even with extensive exposure to Line & Lure (soaked in if for days, etc.), the line tested was still within the factory specs for breaking strength, overall diameter and ductility and showed nothing but positive effects from the treatment. We have had the product tested by many of the major line companies and have never had any of them indicate compatibility issues with the use of Line & Lure on their lines. This is not to say that as new lines come out or manufacturers change the chemical formulas of their lines we will not find a line that might be negatively affected but as of this date, we have not found any line that is damaged by Line & Lure use.

You can imagine that with the 10 of thousands of people that use Line & Lure there will be a few that will not find the benefits that we claim the product offers. Unfortunately there is no way to get to the bottom of these issues comprehensively because in most cases we do not get a chance to examine the line or to understand the customers usage or habits.

We whole-heartedly believe that Line & Lure is the best and safest line conditioner produced. We stand behind the benefit claims we make with a no questions asked money back guarantee on the product. We encourage anyone that has experienced line problems with Line & Lure use to contact us and discuss the issues they are having. Your assistance may help find an answer to your issue and will help us in the continuing development of Line & Lure.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Rob Faddis, President

32251 - I've spoken to Rob Faddis, owner of the company, about your issue, and he tells me that he has heard of this happening in rare cases, yet nobody has been willing to send him the affected line so that he can investigate. Would you be willing to send that line to him?

He said he is more than willing to give you a 100% refund either way. He's a stellar guy that takes care of his customers.

Way to go Glenn. Rob thank you for the reply.

No.

I have been using it for two years or so and never

experience any negative consequences of any kind.

In fact, I HIGHLY recommend KVD Line & Lure Conditioner.

I've used it for one full season, and have had nothing but positive results. I especially like it on my braided line.

I've used it since it came out and have no problems.

I apply it when I spool a reel. I change line after a days fishing if it is used much at all so I cannot speak to using it on a spool that has been on for weeks or months.

Personally,other than braid, it would scare me to fish a reel that has had the line on it for a month. JMO.

A great product.  I go through two bottles a season on mono, floro and braid.  It works great and my line is always ready to go.  No kinks, no breaks no anything.  I hose down my spools with it after my spools have dried out and before I go out again.  It has to be applied to dried spools to be most effective.  Shake before using.

I've voiced my opinions on this before and am in the very small minority. I just do not see the benefits of this stuff. I wont go so far as to say it hurts my line performance but I definately have not realized any noticeable benefits.

I've given it an honest try too. Used it several outings and just nothing different about my line.
