fishing line - chum-bucket - 12-09-2004
Hi Again
I have some reels with new line on them. Its been a while since I have been fishing. The gear is kept inside my Apt. Would you risk using or losing a fish. The reels have never touched water.
Or should I go ahead a put fresh line on them the next time I go.
Does the line lose its power after time even though I haven't used them.

You don't mention what kind of line you have on the reel, but if it's been on it awhile it will get memory to it . So I would change it. Mono or Hyrocarbon I change once a year. Fire line on some of my rods I'll go two years if I haven't used it much. The other ones I'll change once a year. If you go out more than 3 times a week you may want to change it mid season. I'm sure the other guys have their spin on this as well.

I have to agree that smaller line is more fun. I've tried a few reels and I'll be buying the Shimano combo from Basspro again. It is so Smoooooth.
