65lb braid all my serious reels. Strong enough for what I target and haven't had to change it out yet. (3seasons). 30lb braid on my spinning reels used on my float tube or while shore fishing.

When breakage becomes common. I went 11 years on the same braid backing ( transfered it to 4 different reels during its service ) before chucking it. I've also changed out braid after 1 season. It just depends, if it still works use it.
