no, you must retie knots on the average of twice per hour...especially when the rods and reels are sitting in your garage...the line deteriorates most when sitting in your garage not being used.If you fish everyday the knots will hold forever.

ok yes iam being a jerk....my guess would be that a well tied knot properly tied with enough lubrication to satisfy the randiest young women will be good for the same life as the line...but why take chances cut off a couple of feet and retie if in doubt.
