Changed line on all my reels last February but did not fish one time last year. Rods were kept in the garage and subject to heat and cold but low light.
Your opinion. Should the line be changed before fishing this year?

It's just as old on your reel as it would be on the original spool.. I have a bulk spool that I've had for several years and it shows no weakness. No way I would.

The flouro and mono most likely got a lot of memory to it sitting around for a year so I'd change it out
Send it!

KVD Line Conditioner and stretch it out then soak again night before you go fishing should be fine.

Never tried the KVD stuff but if you can eliminate the memory you I dont see any reason for it to be fatigued.
