Another thing is if when fighting a fish it pulls drag on every fish, you need to adjust your drag some. when the drag is giving it creates line twist that will give you problems... now if your using baitcasting reel, then you may give the seaguar invisix or abrisix a try. The seaguar has less memory and is more limp than the P-Line.

    Flourocarbon line does not absorb water or chemicals so I am not sure what a line condition would do for you after about 10 casts. If your still having problems with the line then I would look at your reels and it may be time to upgrade some of those.
    The Shimano symetre has a spool setting for fluro to help with twists, KVD line conditioner works as long as you apply it as you are spooling initially.

    if flourocarbon line does not absorb water or chemicals, how can this help. I see where it would lube it for a while casting, but after so many casts would the condition not come off? I am not doubting you, just trying to see why this works? I did see where it says on the bottle of kvd that it works for both lines, but how?

    Also, I agree 100% on the seaguar. For the price you can not beat it.
