That was me FFurd, and I expect it to last me about 2 years given the rate
that I change lines.

I don't change them because of tournament fishing... but rather that I
usually end up with a bad 'nest or two that will kill what's on a reel,
fishing around rock is very bad on my lines, and then I'll spool up with
flourescent for fishing nights. Anyway, I figured that I can spool up a reel
for less than a quarter and feel good about having on good line.

I picked up these two spools for about $15.00 each! One with 6000yds of
10lb, and the other with 4700yds of 12lb.

What is the shelf life of a spool of mono line? Someone recently posted
that they bought a 10,700 yard spool of Trilene XL. How long can that be
expected to maintain its strength? What are the ideal storage conditions
for a large spool of mono?

Thanks for your replies.
