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.

Thats what I do.![]()
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.
When mine turns white, i just color it with some permaneat marker

I tell you guys what...I'm no braid expert (just have been using it for 2 years) BUT the worst braid I have used is the Cabelas brand of braid![]()
