re: Braided Line - How often do you change/maintain yours?

I only have inshore gear(4 Shimano reels to be specific) that gets well used. It's $10/reel to switch it out. I usually get 2 serviced in the spring and 2 serviced in the fall at which time I get them respooled.

With fresh water stuff, I reuse my braid. The inside always looks like new so I just reverse spool it onto another reel.

No offshore setup for me so i don't have that problem.
For inshore / freshwater I can go at least two years before switching. The only thing i do is remove 3-6' every so often to remove frayed sections.
After a couple years I usually "reverse" the braided line. Basically if you tie your line to another reel and spool it up you will have the old line on the bottom of the spool and the top of the spool will be the fresh untouched braid at the very bottom of your current spool. Works well and you can get some extra time on the line.
