I've had nylon mono that was well over ten years old, but kept in dark closed place and it was fine, on the other hand I've bought new new mono that wasn't half the rated strength. My research on line a few years ago suggests that UV and heat are killers for nylon (actually all plastics) and that no line we buy is guaranteed to be new unless it has a date code. Most line I've looked at isn't dated. Left on the shelf for a couple months in a display area exposed to UV could age the line by years as compared to line stored in the dark. Fluorocarbon is a lot more UV resistant than nylon  which is why I never use it. I don't store my line in the sun.

Didn't you say Basspro runs Red Label on sale every spring??   I bought a bunch last year but need some more.

They have been running Seaguar red every spring but I haven’t seen it so far this year.

Reel Magic is not a gimmick in my opinion.

Agreed. The line conditioners 100% help with older line or on a reel you haven't used for a bit but the line is still good. Removes the memory and seems to rehydrate the line to where it becomes limp/manageable again. Have used both Reel Magic and Reelsnot. Both work well.
