    Braid replacement...how often?

    Generally speaking how often should I replace braided line? I only use it on my C-rigs, frog rigs and a finesse rig. I use florocarbon leaders on the C-rigs and finesse. Does it ever wear out?

    I won't change mine until it turns white. Then a lot of times I switch the line around and put the white on the bottom of the spool.

    In other words, the stuff lasts a long time. I don't change it until I've re-tied so many times that there isn't enough left on the spool to safely cast and fish with.
