when to change wire

[finsntins]

im new to using wire for dipseys and was wondering if you guys change wire every season or can you get more than one season?thanks in advance.

As long as there are no kinks or micro breaks I just cut off a couple feet from the end and re rig it each year to make sure the terminus is secure. The stuff lasts a long time if you are careful with it.

I've heard other people mention reverse spooling onto another reel.  Then you can get some time on the un-used portion.  As long as it's on your reel tight and you cut off the last few feet every-so-often i don't see why you'd have to change it.

I've gone six seasons between changing out my wires, Only reason I did was because with the periodic cutting back, the spools were getting a little underfilled.

You can get numerous seasons from a good quality wire. Its made from stainless steel so it will hold up to a lot. my reels are spooled up with 1000'. Really the only time I replace wire because I have 650' or less on the reel. (Which will happen eventually from cutting back and retying.) This little of line on the reel will make the counter inaccurate and of course leaves you less line for fish to take.
