Reversed after about two years and then taken off and put onto tip-ups.

I reverse it like others, usually every year depending on how much I've been fishing, and then change it when I've used both ends.

I never change my line. I just run out some how. I just tie more on. I use 60 pound and 80 pound PowerPro. It never gets weak.

I get 2 seasons out of my Cortland, then use it again on my back-up reel.

I use powerpro and not change for a long time. I put new line in spring for fish a whole year. I agree with some guys to change when its too low!

My reels need replacing before my PP does. Good excuse to buy the latest greatest reels.

Each reel gets the line reversed or replaced about every 200 hours. It used to be 1/2 that when I used Cortland, Tuff, PP, and others.

What kind of line do you use now that gets double the life of the listed above?
