when I fished B.A.S.S. federation tourneys, I was replacing line every week or 2 weeks.
For your normal fishing conditions, 2-3 times a week for a few hours each time. I would say.2 months max. what was said about breaking off and stretching the line is going to wear it out.
You can use it for 6 months or a year no problem, but you will not enjoy it.. Break offs will increase. and the stuff will coil all the time.
This is all info for your standard mono. Flouro and braid will be different. I keep braid on a long time, and flouro gets replaced every other fishing trip when I use it.
The problem with finding service spools are that they usually sit in stores unprotected for a very long time. Most people wont spend the money on them so they tend to sit.
If you can find a spool that just came in. thats the one to buy.
