Fill My Newbie Tackle box and another question

[Foyt20]

I just wanted to get a couple of questions answered, cause i have been out of the game since i had to start buying a fishing licence.

1) How long does mono line last? I have a roll of Spider Wire that I bought probably 12 years ago or so. Im assuming that I need to replace it, but I was just wondering if I didnt need to.

2) My second question is kind of a fun game for all of the Vets out there. Here is the game: Give me some suggestions to create a well rounded Noob tackle box. List some items that I should pick up so that I can handle different situations. Some suggestions for soft baits, spinners, etc. would be great.

I have read through most of the articles and watched most of the videos on this site, and I have to say that Kevin is one heck of a film maker, producer, and presentor.

Thanks to all!!!
