Can fly lines go "bad" on the shelf?

Wolfgang,

I dont know you and you dont know me, but the impression I get of you is
that noboby thinks your're smarter than you. Get over yourself buddy and
get a life. If you had any sense of self you would realize that you come
off sounding like an idiot, not the pseudo intellectual you would like
everyone to think you are. I'm sure you'll have a smarmy retort which
makes you feel good about being you...

Excuse me? Did I not answer your questions?

Wolfgang

I have some very old lines which are still good, and I also have some newer
lines which are basically useless, although unused. There usually is no way
to know why a "cheap" line is cheap, and there is always a risk involved in
buying such lines.


Since, in fact, it is impossible to predict how long a line will
last, there is less risk in buying a cheap line for 10 - 12 US
than buying the typical one for 35 - 60.
