The other thing about mono, is that like anything else that stretches, it can lose its elasticity and become brittle. I've had bluefish blitzes where it happened in the course of an afternoon. Constantly getting stretched, then relaxing, all of a sudden it just breaks on ya and a nice plug swims off attached to a bluefish.

One pound bulk spool of 20# Big Game, almost 3000 yards, costs what? $30? You can refill that 7500 spool 5 times a season and it'll last you 2 years. Don't try to scrimp on line.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

I agree 100% about what Mike and Rock reccomend - cheaping out on the frequency of changing line is a big mistake.
But the question was not put forth that way; for whatever reason, the guy does not want to change his line.
