Something I find myself doing probably more than I’d like is changing my fishing line. Oftentimes, I change just the size of line on a particular rod or reel. To some, it might seem pointless to strip all the line off of a reel that was just spooled up a few weeks or even a few days before. It’s a little bit of work, changing line back and forth, but to get the best results, that’s what it takes sometimes.

If I’m being honest, I probably don’t change my line near as much as I should. We all tend to see just how much we can get out of a spool of line, and that can catch up with us at the most inopportune times.
