How does everyone keep track of what line they have on each fishing pole?

I use a Dymo label maker and put a small sticker on each rod with the line weight, type and date it was changed.
0117 15FL = 15 lb fluoro changed out in January 2017
0117 12BG = 12 lb Big Game
0117 50BR = 50lb braid
So far after using it for 3-4 years it has served me well. Might be a little over the top but I am an engineer!

That explains everything. On my catfish rigs some have 20# some have 30#. I think the shimano rigs have 14# but I don't remember. If the drag is set and used correctly, it doesn't matter what's on them.

My sandbass rods normally have 12lb and my striper/catfish rods have 20. My ultralight trout/panfish rod is 6lb.

I put my labeled stick under the reel seat in the concave of the reel base. This helps protect it from water and the letters fading out.
-SM-25 = Stren Mono. 25# test
-BPS-F-25 = Bass Pro Shop Floro. 25# test
And Etc..

Easy.
Cajun red on bait casters and RipCord yellow braid on my spinners.
Any spin caster has what came on it, usually clear mono 8 or 10 lb.
95% of my fishing is for eater cats so I usually have the spinners in hand.

I keep my spools in a spool keeper so I know the different lines

I put a little sticker on the underside of the side plate on each reel. Each sticker is lb test and type of line. For instance, 15 lb fluoro is 15F.

Mine is simple.
Ultra lights get 6lb mono
My moderate spinning rigs, most often used, get 10lb power pro
Heavy spinning rigs(catfish rods) get 20lb mono
Baitcasters get 14lb mono.
No need to label, I know by the type of rig what line it has on it.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!
