WaterPanther Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I found an entire unopened spool of Red box Trilene (4#) that I purchase last spring in the back of a drawer. Is this line any good or should I just take the loss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartmanMN Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 It's fine as long as it was not in the Sun or extreme heat. Spool up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClownColor Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Boy I hope its still good. Most my line on my spools are a good five years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyhl Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 5 year old mono? How do you deal with the memory? The coils made by the mono forming to the spools drives me crazy.I got tired of changing mono every year and switched to braid 4 years ago then I run a mono snell for the last four to ten feet of line. The braid will last me years without needing to be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I do the same as Kyhl, but after 3-4 years I wind the braid onto a different reel, thereby reversing the line on the new spool. Its like getting new line, and really how many times do we use even the first 100' of of a 100-150 yard spool of braid. Then its a length of flourocarbon for a leader tied on with either a small swivel or back to back uni knots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That braid can get sort of spendy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
