Just replaced mainline after several years.
I use 30# Maxima and it's pristine at the arbour. In fact it's in great condition just a few yards in. I peel off a hundred feet or so at the beginning of the year so the line with most wear and tear is discarded. I do the cannon ball break test and I've never had it fail. Trilene is probably similar in durability.

Ok now I am curious. What is "the cannon ball break test"?

Tie 2 - 15# cannon balls to the 30# mono and lift. If it does not break it passes the "cannon ball break test".

Why would you screw around reversing $20 worth of line. On any given trip we spend $40 on fuel, $50 on bait, $40 on lunch maybe more if you drink beer and your going to worry about changing $20 worth of line once a year. Not worth it when at any given time there could be hog hit the lure, not for me anyway. Mine gets changed out every year. Go bulk and buy a 2 or 3000 yard spool and your set for a few years.
