line storage?

Michael Lamenza - graduate

How long can you store mono and fluorocarbon ? I keep it in consistent temperature and it's not exposed to any type of light. Will it eventually degrade some how, even though it's never been spooled on a reel? Some of it is 3 or 4 years old

I can't say exactly how long line will last. You are storing it properly. I use line regularly that is 3-4 years old. A lot of line sitting on the shelves at some tackle stores is old. I always test the line I'm spooling by wrapping around my hands and pulling. This is a crude test, but line that has been compromised will fail with little pressure. I have seen 20# test break like its 6# test.
