allow the braid to dry and do not store it in excessive heat and it will last for ever. I change my leaders every year.
Agreed on the braid that stuff lasts forever.......but I change my leaders every trip........sometimes even after landing one fish if it was a toothy pike or pickerel cuz breakoffs blow! I use 25 lb mono when fishing for those guys and keep pre made leaders in a zip lock in my pocket and change em out quick right at the hole
i have had mine spolled with 50lbs dacron since 1989,,just checked them all last night,,its like the day i puy it on
How long do you guys leave the tip up line on your tip ups before replacing the line ?
