Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I use almost exclusively braid but I've been wondering how long it lasts. My reels have line on them that are 2-3 years old, should I spool it with fresh line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 If you haven't already, just reverse it.. You'll easily get another 2-3 years out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Watch the line for the first casting amount as you despool it for nicks and cuts. Remove as needed and then reverse it back on the reel. Then reel it onto another one of your empty reels. I add that amount to the backing and it comes out perfectly spooled and you won't break off the fish of a lifetime if you get into the back of the spool.

Garnet Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 And you can reel it from 1 spinning reel to the other or baitcaster. No Memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angler management Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Really depends on the line, some of the new braids fade really fast, and some deteriorate shortly after their smooth-feel coating wears off. Main one im thinking of is "power pro slick 8". Really like the feel of the line, but it doesnt last me nearly as long as regular power pro.
