    RE: How often do you respool with braid?

    I still use braid that i spooled a year or so back (30-50lb). I have pulled it off in the yard and respooled it in reverse just to get the new feel and color back for awhile.
    IMO it comes down to what your habits are some people just like the confidence of new line which can be expensive. The braid will last a long time (years) and that depends on how you use it. I don't spool my entire reel with it either, I just tie a blood knot and put enough on for my flipping, pitching, slop fishing or c-rigging.
    Good luck with it. It's good stuff for specific applications.

    Chunkin...JUst unspool the ole line on another reel. The bottom part of the line is still in good shape and hardly used.

    Not everything that gets wet is pretty, but sometimes it gets pretty wet.

    Have you all used braid for any other applications besides F-N-F like crank baits or anything else?

    I mainly use braid on spinning outfits, when I am pitching tubes or small jigs. I have been using some of the same braid for about 3 seasons. The color does fade---but I don't care. Power-Pro!
