Line -- shelf life
Have a chance to purchase 6000 yds of 10# Fluorocarbon. That would last me and Bandit awhile, any ideas about the shelf life. It will be kept in a small dark cabinet. THANKS

Fluorocarbon tends to last a whole lot longer then mono. I think you'd be safe to get it.

I really know nothing about this.
Actually I know a few who keep thier lines in coolers. Just at room temp. No light, no rapid temp. changes, kind of like thier own little enviromentally protective chamber.. They have kept and used line for years and years.

Borrowed from another site with the same question. There was a post talking about fishing line and its "shelf life". i.e. how long would the line be "good" if it were stored in the dark in with good storage and humidity control. I thought that I would go to the manufacturer, so I sent an e-mail to Berkley - makers of Trilene and Fireline. The following is their response with respect to mono shelf life. Take care REW 2/3 years. Nylon monofilament has a shelf life of 2 to 3 years. You can find this date code on the bottom of your spool label. It will be something like K-12-3-11, the second number, in this case 3 tells us this line was made in 2003. Nissa Lundquist Customer Service Representative Berkley Corp. Called "Pure Fishing" parent company of Stren, Berkley etc...customer service, they said 2-3 years. But they are also in the NEW fishing line business. They told me there is a date code with dashes on the back of the spools. a-10-09 would be Jan. 10th. 2009 b-10-09 would be Feb. 10th. 2009 c-10-09 would be March 10th 2009 Ending with L being December. FYI they said the same date codes are used on there bait/lures. hope it helps
