How Long is Line's good for?

[SkunkedAgain]

I know this is very variable in the answers, and I know my mono won't last more than a season or two at most. But what about braids? I'm thinking Power Pro in particular. I've had some of my Power Pro on some reels for over ten years and I'm still not seeing it weaken, has anyone had trouble with it and at what point? I've had trouble with my nanofil lines only making two or three years before they fray and get weak on me, and I have a cabela brand braid I got ten to twelve years ago that is starting to fray, but the rest of my super lines seem, (knock on wood) to be staying strong. Biggest problems I've had is tangle ups and boat motors wrapping them up around the prop... I guess this is why I've justified paying more for the braids over the years, plus the no stretch that lets you set the hook on fish a long ways out instead of stretching and not getting a good hook set. What do you think? Later J
