lines I don't use very often, I take off the reel and coil up like an extension cord (18" diameter circle or so) I then just hang them from a nail in the basement. Lines I use at least once a month I just keep on the reel and stretch out before using if I go a week or two.

On Fly Lines:
I clean them daily if in Salt water use. I replace them when dirty, cracked or not performing. I do not seem to have a lot of memory from storage on the spool unless the fly line needs replacement. It is possible to twist the line whilst coiling and storing it. I do believe that routine cleaning helps the line last. On leaders: I usually keep the heavier butt section in tact and replace everything from there down religiously. I replace all Tippet after every significant fish. (always on Atlantics). Terminal Tackle Failure is unacceptable and the direct responsibility of the angler. I try to Tie near perfect knots, if the wraps don't come together right I cut it off and re tie the Knot. Sure, I use a lot of tippet, but I don't often lose a fish for a bad knot. (wish I could say it was never). We have limited time to Fly fish, I like to get it as right as I can. The Rest is Up to The Fish!
