Welcome KVD Line & Lure Conditioner!

[Glenn]

Please give a warm welcome to our newest advertisers Kevin VanDam Line & Lure Conditioner! I was introduced to Rob through Bobby Megastrike a few months ago, and met him while at the Classic.  Let me tell you, he is very knowlegable scientist that has a passion for fishing.  Together, he and VanDam has created a line conditioner unlike no other.  You just HAVE to read the website to discover the difference.   Trust me, this is terrific stuff!

Click the KVD banner the next time you see it on the site.

For your reference, here is a complete list of BassResource.com advertisers.

Great news!  Thanks for your support!!!

Great to hear!!!

I love KVD line conditioner and use it alot.  

Welcome to the site!!

[frogtog]

Welcome to BR. I have used KVD Line conditioner for a while and this

is one heck of a product. It makes your casting so much easier. If you have a reel that you can cast a 100' on, spray it with KVD and it will go 150'

[HesterIsGod]

Welcome!

I'm gonna have to try this stuff

[Jimzee]

I have always been a little curious about this stuff.  The part where it says it will help eliminate coils in your line got my attention.  I may have to give it a try.

[jrhennecke]

Welcome!

[Bronzeback117]

Nice! This stuff really works. Give it a try if you have not already.

How Y'all Are?

Boss on a roll  

[Grey Wolf]

A very good product. I use it all the time.

Welcome!!!

I'm glad to have ya'll aboard.  Rarely does a hot product hit the bass fishing market and you hear nothing negative about it.  Usually a few haters will show up just to be different.  However, i've heard no less than 40 or 50 people rave about your product with no negative comments.  I forgot to pick some up last time I was at Bass Pro and couldn't find it anywhere around here.  Now I can get some on here and support my favorite site as well.   Looks like Reel Magic just lost some business.

The Line & Lure Story

I would like to point out a few dynamics of our product that will help you better understand some of the benefits an angler can expect with the regular use of Line & Lure and why it is miles ahead of the others line products.

The only real commercial competition for Line & Lure is Blakemore's Reel Magic. It needs to be stated that oil based line dressings like WD-40 and Reel Magic have been around since the 1950's and were used to address some of the problems that anglers were experiencing with monofilament line, the predominant line of the time.

Reel Magic and WD-40 is merely silicone oil with added petroleum distillates that are listed as toxic by the EPA and on the product's label. The silicone oil adds some level of lubrication to line but is very temporary. Just how temporary these products are, can easily be observed when casting after a fresh application. One will plainly see the oil slick it leaves on the water surface. We anglers love the waterways that we fish, so why would we use or condone the use of toxic products that wash into lakes, rivers and bays?

Reel Magic and WD-40 does have a relaxing effect on the corkscrew memory that we see in monofilament line due to the petroleum solvents added to it. Unfortunately, these solvents reduce memory by literally dissolving the outer surface of the line, thereby weakening it. The use of these products, can contribute up to a 50 % loss of monofilament's line strength in just a few days. If that wasn't bad enough, these oils and solvents sprayed onto reel spools are also getting into the reel's moving parts including bearings, gears and seals. The very nature of the oil in these products draws and holds dirt to these parts, negatively affecting their performance and lifespan. The solvents in the products are known to degrade the seals that the manufacturer built into the reel to protect the inner moving parts. Ask any professional reel repair technician and chances are that he will agree.

On the other hand, Line & Lure contains a blend of non-toxic, polymers that are not found in any other line dressing or conditioner. The proprietary polymer blend in Line & Lure imparts a coating to line that actually bonds to the line's surface. In theory, this bond becomes a permanent part of the line. The only way to remove this coating is to abrade it from the line, by friction. The polymers fill any line surface imperfections and create a very uniform and smooth microscopic coating on the line. This smooth surface is inherently more resistant to friction than an untreated one. In this case, this phenomenon provides multiple benefits.

First, as friction does start to attack the line (as it goes through the rod guides, over obstacles, etc.), the polymer acts as a sacrificial buffer to that friction. Practically, our replaceable polymer finish wears instead of the line itself. This of course extends the line's life tremendously.

Secondarily, these polymers are extremely hydrophobic, meaning that they literally push water away at the molecular level. This hydrophobic action reduces the amount of water that is retained on the line during a retrieve. It is this water surface tension on the reel spool that is a major contributor to casting distance restriction. This phenomenon is further demonstrated when we take into consideration the reduction in backlash with bait casting reels and blow-outs on spinning reels that anglers find when using Line & Lure.

This surface tension principle is the same thing that one experience when they pick up a sweating drinking glass and find the coaster being picked up with the glass. The less water on the line, the less the resistance caused by surface tension. This equals much longer casts and fewer backlashes!

It is also easy to see that with less water retention on the line there will be less contaminants coming back up on to the reel. This is especially important when fishing in saltwater. As we all know, it is the salt crystals that form in-between the loops of line on reels that cause a lot of the wear damage to fishing line. This salt also invades the seals on reels and over time acts like sandpaper wearing on reel components. Just as on the line, the polymers in line & Lure protect the seals from the elements, helping keeping them in prime condition. The anticorrosive properties of Line & Lure also dramatically reduce corrosion damage to rod, reel and artificial bait surfaces. Simply put, Line & Lure greatly extends the useful life of fishing equipment, lines and baits.

Line and lure contains extremely high sunscreen protection. This sunscreen blocks the UV rays from sunlight. UV radiation has a massively destructive effect on fishing line. Fishing line can literally burn at about half the rate as unprotected human skin! Using Line & Lure on your line is equivalent to using an SPF 30 on your skin. The competition has no more UV protection then baby oil.

Anglers are very happy with the benefits that they get using Line & Lure on monofilament line, but please keep in mind that Line & Lure was primarily designed by Kevin VanDam and RMR Industries to address the inherent problems anglers experience with fluorocarbon, co-polymers and braided lines. Other line dressings have little or no positive effect on these hi-tech lines.

After 1-½ years in development and testing by thousands of anglers around the world, Line and Lure has been proven to work effectively on any type of line made by any manufacturer. In addition, it is the only line conditioner that positively affects the flexibility, knot strength, casting and control of fluorocarbon line. Anglers using Line & Lure can expect the following benefits:

·       Longer casts.......guaranteed!

·      Virtually eliminates line memory, backlash, tangles, and twists

·      Restores new line performance to old tired line

·      Fights saltwater corrosion on reels, rods and tackle

·      Leaves no oily residues or scents like other line treatments

·      Contains no polluting petroleum distillates as in other conditioners

·      Fights fading and damage to gear with high sunscreen

·      Reduces water spotting on electronics & sunglasses

·      Environmentally safe - non-toxic

·      Superior Fly Line Dressing

·      Unsurpassed de-icing performance in ice fishing

Hey Rob, thanks for coming on board, and thanks for the excellent write up. Been using reel magic for years. Looks like I'm gonna have to stop that. I'll be picking up some of your stuff soon.

If you're going to be at G-ville for the roadtrip, make sure you stop by the pavillion Tuesday evening. I'm cooking for everybody, so you better come get some.

If you insult my cookin by not showing up, I'll get your address from Glenn, and send some of my people to pay you a little visit.

Get it? Got it?  Good. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Cheers,

GK
