The Rooster Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I'm sure a lot of you know this but I thought I'd share it with anyone who hasn't tried it yet. Last night I put some KVD line treatment on my Power Pro 50# and today while using it I noticed it was MUCH quieter than it had been before during casting. When I first put braid on I didn't like it because it was so noisy. Now it's at least tolerable. I still don't think I like braided line but it does cast nicer now, and much less noisy too. GO KVD!!

The Rooster Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 Occasionally I still get that real hum dinger of a backlash, but mostly it's really good stuff for smoothness of cast. The line feels softer also. I don't know if this stuff just coats the line or if it absorbs into it some, but it's fantastic stuff and I like it so well I don't think I can go back to using line without it. It's not sold locally either. I'll have to order it when I want it. I got the bottle I have at a BPS store on a trip last fall. Just happened to walk by it and the light bulb went on in my head so I decided to try it. It's got to rank in the top 5 decisions I ever made for fishing, this stuff is great. Quote

It doesn't just coat the line like other products and wash off in the water. In addition, it is a blend of polymers. Other similar products are petroleum based. L&L also makes a big difference in taking the stiffness out of flourocarbon. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 22, 2011 Super User Posted August 22, 2011 The KVD L&L will also help hold the color longer. Quote
