Reply With QuoteGenerally it's not the temp, it's the light that causes line to degrade. If they're in a rod locker, the line will be fine. Keep 'em in the dark. Course, you could have alot of line memory if you store too long.

Storing mono. line ?
I spooled up my reels with some Trilene Xl early than usual this year. They're in the garage were it stays between 35*-45* will this cause the line to weaken before spring gets here ? What's the best conditions to store mono and keep it fresh ? -Thanks

Fished out said it all ... the biggest killer to mono is ultra violet light rays ...

yes sun is a killer. if you keep your line in a cool dry place out of the sun . it will last for years. i have a jumbo spool of trilene xt solar i have had since the early 1980's. it is still as strong as ever.

yea I kept mine in the garage and guess what? I went to go fishing and the line was all over in little peices. I had to scratch my head, mice. the mile brackish water left enough salt on the line the mice chewed it up.
