Welcome to the site Nick, what kind of line do you have on your reel? Just as a rule I have never changed braided line on my reels but it depends on how much you use it and the type of braid. As far a mono goes, again it depends on how much you use the line but a lot of people will change it every year but I change mine every two to three years depending on the use. I was using a reel with mono the other day and noticed the line was starting to peel off and separate. That line had been on that reel for at least 4 years but I will be changing it before I go out again. Also it depends on the weight of the line, I trust 10 to 15 lb test longer than 6 lb but I check all my knots every time I catch a fish or attach a lure. This is just my opinion and others will have different opinions but this has worked for me for many many years. Hope it helps.
