I’ve come across some 3 year spools of sun line in the garage. It’s been unopened in the garage should I spool it up or trash it? 12 and 16 pound test.

It should be fine.
I keep mine in a special fridge. Keeps it away from light and heat. Lasts a long time.

It should be good.to.go.
I've always heard that heat and light were the worst things for fluorocarbon and 3 years in a garage in Vegas is a lot of heat.

Tie an overhand knot in it and see how easily it breaks. I believe it should be fine from other comments I’ve seen about fluorocarbon’s longevity.
If you are throwing it away send it to me.

Last week I finally had to re-spool a reel that had 5 yr old FC Sniper on it - I used what was left on the original spool. I keep all my spools of line in the basement where they are not subject to heat or light.
As suggested above tie some knots and give them a good tug to see if the line is still good to go. Going forward, might be an idea to keep spools of line in the house.

keep it in a dark container and in the frig....will last a long time. Experience has taught me that.

I hope it’s good for 3 years. I have Sniper on a couple of reels that’s 3 seasons old, and fished regularly. Still going strong.

Thanks for the confidence I’ll spool it up and be on Havasu at daylight.
Probably not as good as 5 year old mono, but still good if if it don't break easily.
spool it up for practice and if its good keep it on for the derby........
Should be fine... it's UV that kills it.
seems to have an indefinite life if kept cool, almost as long as good braid!!
