How often ......
 

Do you change your spectra? aside from visual frayed line, do you guys change this stuff out?

depends on how much disposable income you have...:D

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ 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!

If your Yakin after every trip. Me mine is at least 3 years old, as long as its not frayed or snapping off then its good.

Multiple yrs.

Did you flip the ends yet?

I'm maybe approaching 4 yrsish so I should have another then 4 :cheers1:

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:
