mm or lb rating on the spool or reel box and then compare this with the diameter or lb class of the braid that you are using, to gauge how much backing you will require. You will need to calculate the amount of backing needed to ensure that you don't under or over fill the spool.
#Braid to mono knot full
This is most commonly done when you have thin diameter braids or a large spool that doesn't require the use of a full spool of braid. Backing a reel refers to using a mono line as a filler before spooling over it with a braided line to achieve a full spool. The most important factor to consider when spooling a reel with braid is that will you need to 'back' the reel. These are particularly useful if you are regularly changing lines or have multiple reels to spool. You can also buy a line spooler that will suction cup onto a surface and hold the spool with tension. However, if you don't have this luxury, it can still be achieved by hand, with a few simple tools like a screwdriver or pen and an accomplice to keep tension on the spool with a cloth when you are winding. Most tackle shops are equipped with one and provide this as a service. I would recommend the use of a spooling machine. Spooling a reel with braid is slightly more complicated than mono and can be tricky if you haven't experienced this before. I like to achieve the tension by putting the spool in an empty box or bucket and holding the line lightly between my fingers as it is wound on.įor a spin reel with mono, you want to leave a 2-3mm gap to the edge of the spool to ensure that you are not over spooling the reel. Mono line doesn't require a lot of tension when spooling and will normally lay fairly evenly. I like to wrap the mono line around the spool a couple of times before beginning the knot. With the reel attached to the rod, run the line through the guides from the tip and down to the spool, locking it tight to the spool with a simple knot. This will vary between reels, however I will outline the type of reel and cover how best to spool it with monofilament or braided lines. So, you have just bought that new reel and are ready to spool it with line, however you are wondering the best way to achieve a perfect full spool?
