How do I store a monofilament fishing line? Wrap monofilament on a dry spool or store in its original packaging. Place the spool with line in a cardboard box, not a clear plastic box, according to tips on the Pier Fishing in California website. Put a lid on the box. Place the box in a cool place out of direct sunlight. Keep away from humid or damp environments. Avoid places with fluctuating or potentially high temperatures such as car trunks or laundry cupboards. Test stored line for signs of weakness by tying a lure to the line and pulling hard. If the line snaps or unravels, it's weakened. Discard any monofilament with a powdery coating, according to fly fishing specialist Cortland.
