I have been an avid user of the Kevin VanDam’s Line & Lure Conditioner for over a year now and am impressed each and every time I use it.

Just by spraying some of the solution on the spool of line before I put the line on to a reel the amount of memory drastically is reduced.  It can even be further reduced by putting a small amount of the solution on to a rag and run the line through it as it goes on to your reel.  The Line & Lure Conditioner eliminates any problems that may occur because of the extensive memory from being on the store shelf too long.

If being able to cure line memory and eliminate a large majority of problems due to fishing line isn’t enough, the solution also worked very well on my electronic screens. 

The Kevin VanDam’s Line & Lure Conditioner works on any kind of fishing line, I’ve used it on monofilament, fluorocarbon and braid.  Regardless of what kind of line I sprayed it on, the performance level of my line increased.

I must admit that when asked to review Kevin Van Dam's Line and Lure Conditioner I was very skeptical. I assumed that this was just hype that needed a well know name attached to sell. I was wrong!

This stuff does live up to the description. While I normally pitch/flip more than I make long casts I still found this product worth the money. Due to the lack of long casts I cannot say for sure if casting distance will increase but what I did notice is how much smoother Fireline came through the guides. I found that this smoothness increased my accuracy and control during a pitch. Therefore, it is not a big leap to expect this to lead to longer casting as well.

I normally spend a great deal of money on my rods to get the best guides I can afford. This is in an effort to gain the smoothness and accuracy to yield to a more accurate presentation. I think using Line and Lure Conditioner correlates to probably another $50 in guide cost on a rod and you get this performance for much less. This paired with the money-back guarantee they offer makes this product a slam dunk.

I have to admit that I was a skeptic at first when it came to testing Kevin Van Dam’s Line and Lure Conditioner. I had previously purchased Blakemore’s Real Magic several years ago, and simply quit using it because I was not seeing the results that I expected. KVD’s Line and Lure, however, proved to be not just another line spray.

 I used Line and Lure on several rods of three categories: spinning gear with light line (6-10 lb test), baitcasting gear with heavy line (15-20 lb test), and super-braid line (50 lb Power Pro). In addition, Line and Lure was applied to reels spooled with existing line, and while spooling new line on previously unfilled reels. The results in both cases proved beneficial, and it did not appear to matter whether Line and Lure was applied before or after spooling. I noticed a measurable decrease in line twisting on spinning reels, and reduced coiling with heavy monofilament lines. The improved line performance translated into an overall increase in casting distance.

 Applying Line and Lure to braided line, however, did not yield the same results as monofilament. I had hoped to see an increase in casting distance, but did not.  Perhaps the no-memory / flexible characteristic of braid means that very little casting distance is lost to coiling or twisting.

 Will I use KVD’s Line and Lure Conditioner in the future? Yes.
