I don't change my line much. If I can get away with a season without
changing, I would...and sometimes I have. It really depends if I know
I have made a lot of contact with rocks. It happens ...and
sometimes it does make sense to change. Tf the line is abraded at 50' out ...not gonna leave it there.

I mostly buy the big spools because I got sick of the waste in the
smaller spools....like ending up with partial spools. I am not
into splicing a bunch of 50' segments together.

Now I have two big spools of line rated under the advertised breaking
strength.....nice move.

The samurai was on my reel all season...spooled once. I left it on
even after I knew the breaking strength was not accurate. I mostly
catch the small fish so it mostly doesn't matter, but there might be a
day it does matter.
