Frequency of changing out mono


Recommended Posts

I run Berkley Big Game 30lb test on my rigger rods. I have had the same line on these reels for 4 years now. I only use them 1 or 2x a season. Thoughts on changing it out? Curious to know how often others change out their mono. Thanks in advance.

I change my line every few years and in 35 years I’ve had zero issues. 4 years may be pushing it though. Who knows…

An important consideration is how you store your rods and line. If they are left in a hot boat or garage or out in the sun (UV rays) you may need to change the line very frequently but if you store your rods and line etc. in a cool dry place (e.g. my dry cellar with dehumidifier)  you can get by with much longer stretches. I have had Sea Flee on a few of my rods for several years and have just taken off a few feet from the end at the start of the season or if it looks questionable. Never a problem with it. I should also mention that things could be different with lighter pound test (Sea Flee is 30 lb.) because less room for error.
