I was thinking about putting it on some old reels that
the grandkids will be using for perch & crappie. (I'm
replacing all my stuff with PowerPro 30# today:-)

I tied a few different knots to see if the old Trilene
would easily break, and it "seems" to be as strong as new.

I've used it in heavier tests for flippin, never had a problem. Of course
I'm not fishin the bass-laden waters Randy is...

As for 5 yr old mono, that's gutsy regardless of the type...

I wouldn't safely use a new spool of that line off the shelf. That stuff
is
horrible. IMO

I found a new spool of 15# green "Trilene Big Game" mono
line in a tackle box. Is it safe to use it, or will this mono
deteriorate in the bottom of a tackle box over 5 or so years?
The tackle box was in an uncontrolled storage shed for
a few years.
