Line conditioner

Featured Replies

For people that have used it, what does line conditioner actually do? Is it for mono, copoly, and fluoro? If it makes them smoother and less memory I want to try it.

 

Also what brands are good?

I fish all mono lines, leave one heavier casting outfit for frogs. I don't see any benefit to line conditioner for  my own fishing. Most of the guys who use flouro lines like it, to make the line more limber and easier to handle, es specially on spinning reels. From what I understand KVD line conditioner is a favourite

I do not use line conditioner either and do just fine without it.

Line Taming Serum

Look them up on Facebook

I have 20 pound Flouro on several reels and they would be useless without KVD conditioner. I don’t typically use it on anything else though.

Im thinking about going fluoro on one reel and that's mainly why I'm asking

I only use 16# Sniper Fc I have tried conditioner didnt see much benefit so the line that is on my reels currently dont have conditioner and dont miss it.

I use copolymer and mono..I use kvd line and lure...does it help? I'm not sure but I think so..so I use it

I thought KVD was hokum until I actually got some a couple of years ago.  Casts are smoother and farther.  It does reduce line memory.  Now my reels usually get a couple shots after every trip and I run the line through a paper towel soaked in it when I'm respooling.  It just flat works and I DO recommend.  BTW...when they say to not let it freeze...do not let it freeze.  I had a bottle that did and it pretty much ruined it

I'm headed to bass pro soon and if they have the KVD I'll grab it and try it.

I use the KVD and Reel Snot. I can't say one is better than another. I for the most part only fish Fluoro and Mono, it works with a noticeable difference. I'm pretty anal about my line and keep my line fresh by changing it a lot.

First time you use it, tie on a heavy plug and cast in your yard as far as you can.  Give what's left on your reel a good squirt or 2 and then squirt some in a paper towel and reel your line through it.  You'll be right as rain

I use a product called TangleFree, DTH TangleFree by Punisher lures. 2 oz sqweeze bottle I keep in the vest pocket and apply it as need throughout the day when Using FC line to wet it.

I also use TangleFree on the spinning reel line to reduce memory. 

Not a fan of KVD line conditioner.

? on the KVD Line and Lure.  I use only braid and Yo-Zuri Hybrid on my baitcasters.  There is a noticable difference in the Yo-Zuri when I use the KVD.

I use when first spooling braid to help prolong fading in color. It willeventually faded anyway lol. I use in  some copolymer line especially the one that been sitting for a long time and developed heavy coil. It help for a few trips and eventually become heavy coil again.

I picked up a bottle of KVD LL today. I'm eager to try it on a reel of copoly and got some fluoro to put on another reel I'll use when I spool it.

My reels get a couple squirts of KVD L & L before every trip on whatever it's spooled with (braid, fluoro, mono, or copolymer).

*Good to know - then the KVD should work on P-Line CXX as well .

I use the KVD stuff religiously for 20# Shooter. 
All other combos have Sniper from 12# to 16# and only need to use it occasionally.
