the fact is, picking up a bad spool of line is not uncommon. especialy if you get it at a department store or a low rent bait shop. or you could have posible dammaged it your self. I have done all the above my self... Ok so I am an idiot.... hope I dont do it again, but I probably will....
keep this in mind, the only thing that deteriates plastic is light, direct sun light is the worst.
fishing line is made out of a type of plastic. so if you pick up a spool that has been setting on a shelf for a year or two or you left it on your dash board of the old ford for a couple weeks your line integrity could vary well be compromized.
you can keep line for years if you store it in a cool dark place..... there is even a line lube that will help maintain your line strenth
