A good late freind and reel technician told me that Reel Magic was primary cause of most reel repairs he did. Reel Magic turns gear lubricant to gum and mixes with oils to form a gooey substance. To clean it out required soaking over night in a acetone bath, bearings had to be ultra sonic cleaned after a solvent bath.

One is literally flammable, and the other is endorsed by one of the greatest of all time and works like a charm.

 

And to touch on what @WRB said, that makes complete sense now why whenever I broke down my father's Curado's they were completely gum on the inside.

I just threw the remaining bottle of Real Magic in the recycle bin.  Gone forever...

 

...I just hope the bottle is recyclable like it says on the label!

 

Thx guys...

Go get it back!  It’s great for squeaky door hinges, stuck nuts and bolts, and getting price tags off presents!

I just went out to the recycling bin to retrieve the Real Magic - and I swear radioactive Soylent Green is bubbling over the lid!!

I use fairly heavy monofilament line for all of my bass fishing. One problem with heavy mono in cold weather is that it can come off the spool of a baitcaster like bailing wire.

This is a great description for the issues I had with flouro when pitching. It would just unravel a bit off the spool and drive me nuts. My first time trying flouro and it didn’t take long to just go back to braid and a leader. I’m still curious to maybe try a different brand or give it another shot one day

For me with the monofilament I am able to cast or pitch without a problem but that line coiling on the surface robs me of any real contact with the presentation. I have used the KVD spray a couple more times since the initial use. I make sure that any line involved in the cast gets a good soaking the night before I fish. Stuff definitely works and I get a straight line from the tip top of the rod to the lure.

 

p.s. - I have tried braid before in the winter. If it gets cold enough that braid will freeze into a solid chunk so that is not an option for me.
