PE braid cleaner and conditioner spray
Alright - Gimme the skinny on this stuff
- How long does a can last you? - how often do you reapply? - is it a miracle worker or is it more of a placebo effect? - did you start using it, then stop or is it an essential bit of kit? - were there any unexpected benefits like increased casting distance? - are there any brands you wont buy again? - does anyone know the ingredients so I can get a home brew going? Feel free to answer as many or as few questions as you like. Heres a photo of one of the brands available |

Never used anything like it, preferring just to thoroughly wash it.
I've heard guys say it can add weight to the line and reduce casting distance in lighter situations, such as casting bream hard bodies. I Haven't thought about it until now, but I wonder how Armor All would go?

My concerns with the hair conditioner were the added scents they use in human conditioners. I've got a can of Innox (lanolin based spray lube) - so I'll give one reel a coating of that and see if I notice any difference in performance Last edited by yellow door 1; 20-10-2018 at 08:26 PM. |

BFL, I've used the Varivas PE spray for ages, when I come back from a northern trip and won't be using my bigger reeels for a while, I wash the line on the spool, let it dry, then strip about 50m off the spool, spray the line still on, then rewind the 50m and spray that.
I have never had any salt build up creating rough spots on the line, when I use this method. The conditioner soaks in quickly and I let it dry before storing my reels. I do the same to my smaller bream/whiting reels at the end of the season. I will be interested to see if the Lanox leaves a residue on the line as lanolin is essentially a grease, let us know how it goes.
