Does anyone know how to tell how old line is when you buy it. Seems that the past few spools I have bought have been really bad. Broke two fish off the other night on 17lb test on the hook set. That doesn't happen to me a lot and probably have not done that ten times in the 7 years I have been fishing. The only thing I can think of is the line is old. I check the line often to make sure they are no bad spots in it so I don't think that was the cause.
Any suggestions?
