Regarding changing your lines Carl, Im going to let you work that out for yourself, but I’ll give you a little pointer mate. Most people will only look to change their lines if lets say the last 2-3 feet are damaged or they’ve has massive crack-offs resulting in leaving 80 yards of line in a tree or the line is coiling like mad due to memory loss. Other than that mate, many will leave the line on their spools. But have a think about this; what if your casting eighty yards to an island, your baits are in 5ft of water, your rod tips are a couple of inches off the surface and half way between you and the island is a raised gravel bar with sharp stones. This would mean that wear and tear would already be taking place on your line, which could be 40 yards back on your spool once you’d reeled in and gone home. Now how pi55ed off would you be, if you hooked that fish of a life time and you cracked off at the weakest part of your line? I tend to change mine at least twice a year, now what about you?
