^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ This gives me teh lulz. To the O.P. I have spectra on some of my reels that are approaching their 7 year anniv. and it's still plenty good to go. It's all about maintenance.

Not only that it but also depends on how much money you're willing to spend to keep replacing it.:D:D

In that case my braid will last 14 yrs!

My oldest stretch of braid is about 10 years old and has seen 4 different reels. Stripped off maybe 1/3 of it from wear and tear. Currently it's serving as backing underneath some wind-on. :cool:
