[cool][#0000ff]Longevity is a variable thing. But, if kept indoors at room temps, and out of the UV rays of the sun, it should hold up just about indefinitely. I do not use a lot of the heavier test stuff, but I am still top shotting 8# from a mega spool I bought over 4 years ago and it is still very supple and spools nicely. Also has all of the strength and other properties for which I bought it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The cheapie stiff nylon stuff...sold at discount prices...has given lines a bad rap. That low quality line does break down over time, even when not abused by UV or high temps. Higher quality mono, copolymer and other higher priced stuff usually holds up much better.[/#0000ff]
