It depends on how much it is used. A good rule of thumb is to change it every year, or more if you fish a lot. Monofilament line degrades over time, especially if it is exposed to UV light from the sun.

First, remove the reel cover. Remove old line carefully, when you find the end, it should come off easily. Once the old line is removed, run the new through the cover, then tie the new line on the spool, and remember to remove the tag end as close as possible to the spool. Replace the cover, then reel the new line on the reel.
