If you're like me and use braid and fluorocarbon - you know how expensive these lines can get! Here's a quick tip on how to get more usage out of these lines:

1. Flip your line! I do this when my line starts to look used, it only takes about 10 minutes and can breathe new life into old line. 
- If the line looks really rough, cut some of the end off (I usually cut off about 2 cast's worth). 
- Take the line off of your reel and get it on a spool (I use a drill and just attach the spool to it).
- Take the spool of old line and run it onto another spool (this "reverses" the line).
- Re-spool your reel with this second spool and your line will now be reversed. 

2. Use Kevin VanDam's Line and Lure Conditioner. 
- I'm very skeptical about using products that 'guarantee' themselves, but they are right on this product... This stuff works! Not only did it improve my casting, it also makes my line last longer. It seems to be VERY effective on braided lines that have lost their color and waxy coating.
