Making the most of your braided fishing line.

As most of us anglers know, braided line can be considerably more expensive than mono. Here's a trick to get some more life out of your braided line. When you fish your casting out about the first 50 or so yards or line, but there is 110 yards on most peoples spools. The other 50-60 yards is under the first 50 and is usually in perfect shape because it never gets used. So when your first 50 yards get a little rough looking, unspool all your line (keeping track where the worn end is). Once unspooled, reverse the line so that the worn end is the first thing going back onto the spool. Once your done respooling, your worn line will be the stuff underneath and the new, good line will be what you casting. This essentially doubles the life of your line and saves you loads of money, which you can use to buy other tackle! This can be done with Fluorocarbon as well because it is tough stuff too. I wouldn't recommend this trick for mono though as there are many other factors that can affect mono (ie: sunlight, stretching, heat etc.) and mono is dirt cheap anyway. Anyway, keep you stick on the ice and have fun!
