Ok yall to make a long story short ,my brother lives on the bay in maryland right on the beach he is not much of a fisherman has a few surf rods well when we had the hurricane his surf rods 2 of them washed away ,We found them today this has been over a yr they were in the reeds near a salt marsh not far from his House he did have enough knowledge to put put berkley trilene on these 20 lb solar collector .Ok so these reels where not the best reels on the market some 2 ball bearing ones made by shakespeare i think they were shot corroded and such so im thinking the line has to show some kind of deterioration took prob 20 foot off one of the reels the line was kinda bleached BUT get this it had NO deterioration at all still the same knot strength still the same tensile strength  this was a extreme test for this line and only thing i can think of that was wrong was the line memory IF this line can take single digit temps for a month, the water on it prob 70% of the time extreme heat and sunlight and still only show color probs why do we need to change line other then it getting nicked or rough??  thought id share this with anyone who is wondering about the durability of trilene big game to me this real world test is all a person would need ;D :)

Big Game is good stuff - - very tough and yes, lasts well.    It stretches like a rubber band, though......that's the only thing I don't like about it.

Wish they made it in lighter pound tests.  10# and up it is the only mono I use.  Not saying it is the best line for everyone, it does have some memory and stretch, etc.  Works for me, pitch, flip, cast.

I use Berkley Big Game on all my rods except for my flipping stick; the reason I change it every other trip is because I fish heavy cover. Yes you could just check the first 20 yards for nicks and probably be safe but what if it's nicked farther up? At the price of Big Game change it and have the piece of mind of knowing it's all good.

I like Big Game as well but, like CATT I don't use it for flippin. I use Stren Dura Tough. It has worked well for me.

I also use Big Game for many of my bassin' applications.Strong,durable,abrasion resistant,and cheap!I've not noticed that it has a whole lot of stretch to it though.
