John, I think that if they were kept in the dark (fairly important) and cool (very important) then they are fine. The real question is do you want to take a chance on a fall fish that could be a moose with old mono?

No boat, back in the suds.

Rarely would I recommend following Redlite's advice to a tee, but hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Get some braid and send the mono over to RI Jimmy...

If Jimmy doesn't want it, Piemma will probably make a nice batch of aglio e oil with it...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
