I change mine once a year usually


Even on larger setups? I pack 300 yards of 80lb braid on these. That's $30-$40 per reel.

I see no reason to change braid every year. Mono Yes, but not braid.

I understand exactly where you are coming from. I have around 10 reels spooled with braid. The stuff is expensive and I don't replace it as long as it is holding up.

I would try it out and see. If it holds up keep it. If you start noticing line breaks then it's time. Maybe get a backup spool with some new stuff in case you need to make a quick change on the water.
