KVD Line & Lure Conditioner
Smart-a$$ question: is anybody "conditioning" their LURES with KVD Line & Lure conditioner? (or can I continue to use Pert 2-in-1 on my X-raps?)

I use it on everything I have been pleased, it really helps my line more than my lures

I use the KVD stuff on any line that's not braid. It does help a lot. I never use it on any lures.

I've never heard of using line conditioner on lures. Whats that supposed to do for you?

Never spool up without it-braid, mono, or fluoro.

Never used a line conditioner. When you spray it on a full spool of line will it penetrate down into the layers of line or do you also have to make a cast and then spray some more onto the spool?

I spray KVD Conditioner on my line (braid) about 2 hours before I'm set to go fish. I then spray it on my guides about 15 to 30 minutes before I fish. I spray my fishing lures with WD-40.

reel magic is ok but if you ever use kvd's stuff i really think you would make the switch.

It will penetrate the line, but what I do is spray it on a cloth and run the line through it when I'm spooling up. Then I spray it on before and after a trit when I remember to.

Is there a difference the solution? Are they made from different stuff? I really don't know. I just know that I am concerned with trying something new because I am concerned it will gum-up my reel.

Have you noticed any deterrent effect in doing this?--I can 't imagine the WD-40 tastes very good to the fish (I can smell the stuff 100 yards away). |

I have noticed that it is easier to clean my rod and guides if I regularly spray it down with the conditioner. As far as the WD-40, the website says it is good for lures and I have had about the same amount of luck with or without using it. However, I do not use it on my soft plastics.

Tried it and it seemed to cast further but for only a couple casts.I am not sold on it yet.I used it on braid.I usually just make some casts to get the line nice and wet and have no problems.

I once watched a guy spray WD-40 on live minnows and proceed to load the boat with crappie.
Which is better-Reel Magic or KVD? Bill Dance used to have a can of Reel Magic handy on his boat. It has been replaced by the KVD. Yeah, I know he fishes private lakes almost exclusively, and hawks some gimmicky baits, but he does know how to maintain his gear.
