Fishing Line Question

[Nicktaco]

I've been letting the fishing line sit on my reel for a year almost should I replace the line or something? If it matters the reel is a shimono baitcasting reel

Annually is a good practice, especially for Mono.

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.

I'd change it out. Not worth the headaches or broken line with a nice fish.

For the price of line. It's worth changing annually.
