    Default Line replacement


    How often do you replace the line on your reels? I always pull off about 20-30 feet and retie my terminal ends before I head out on each trip that leads me to replace my line every other year.

    I got to wondering how often do other anglers replace their mono?

    About 3-5 times a year depending upon which reel and pole I use. I do have 5-7 different poles in the boat each time I go out which is 5-6 days a week. I buy the line in the large bulk spools and they last 2 years.

    Once a year. In the early spring.

    Usually once a year, but I am replacing all my reels that have P-Line, it just has too much memory and a little too stiff for me.

    I totally respool my 3 main crappie reels at least 3 times per year. Often 5 times depending on where I might be fishing. We have a lot of zebra mussels in the lakes I fish and they really tear up the line. I peel off 20 or 30 feet each trip but that only lasts a few trips then it is time to respool.
    It is not about the equipment you have to use,
    It is about how you use the equipment you have. :D

    I knew it. I don't fish enough! I need to fish more to justify replacing my line more often.

    Having lost a trophy fish to old/bad line, I reline a lot. Four to five times a year on the rods I use the most and at least twice a year on everything else.
