I replace my line often too, for the same reasons as ImBroken. I would also recomend getting a good filter, like the Dynamite Big Daddy, since all filters are not created equal. Some have a screen cup inside, some have just a small piece of screen, and others use what they call a stone filter. The big daddy is a stone filter, it also includes a mounting bracket to hold it down, and they are only about 6-7 bucks.
