When do you replace your braid?

[ful-rac]

For me as long as it doesn't have any severe frays I usually let it slide. Spectra can look rough after being used for awhile, but it should be just fine, just as long as you don't have any major bad spots. What does a bad spot look like...? You'll know when you see it.

Now if you are continually losing fish due to the spectra parting....I would replace it if I were you. But if it was just one time...hey shit happends...
