On spinning reels, there is usually no hole in the shaft of the spool to securely anchor the line. In my experience, braid will shrink and if you hook a monster and get to the end 1/4 of the line, the line peels off the spool like a donut while the spool does not move. You loose the fish because once that happens, you cannot gain line back by reeling in! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You loose the fish because once that happens, you cannot gain line back by reeling in! Any help would be greatly appreciated. ThanksStart with some mono first. On my light (any spool without a hole or peg) spinner I put on about 1/4 spool or less of mono and top off with braid. Actually I take the long method of spooling. Say I want 100 yards of braid on any spool. I first put the braid on then finish off with mono. Now I have the capacity of total line I want on that spool. I remove all the line and re spool starting with the mono. I know this will take extra time but I now know that I have as far as the amount of braid I want, have my spool filled to what I want, and not wasting braid. I have a place that I go with a stretch that I tie off the mono to say a tree, get in my truck and drive till all the line is off the spool. I go back to where the mono starts and spool it up. I usually go to the road where the semi trucks deliver to Sysco on a Sunday.

Put several yards of monofilament under the braid.

Wow. I just eyeball it and usually come out pretty dang close.

| I wrap the empty spool with a couple of wraps of electrical tape, it seems to do the trick!

It doesn't take as long as you think to do what I do. Total time for me is about 15 minutes and Sysco is 2 minutes from me. It is not like you have to do it every week/month. And I can do say 3 reels from a 300yd spool and know that ALL three will have the SAME amount of braid. Not one with 75 yards, another with 140 yards and the last with 85 wards.

Only problem with this method is the line will spool back onto the reel the same way.

[quote] What do you use to de-spool it? When I de-spool line, I use an old empty spool. Only problem with this method is the line will spool back onto the reel the same way. Braid on first (I use 100 yds) ...mono on next to where you want the spool spooled to. I go to Sysco and tie off the mono to something on the road side. I use a long screwdriver driven into ground. drive along the road and empty spool. Go back to screwdriver, attach mono and spool it up. I bought a 1500 yard spool of 50# braid. By doing it the way I do I know how much line is left on the spool. I have spooled 7 reels from that 1500 yard spool so I know that I have enough to 8 more. I just mark the spool with each reel I spool.

| Here's what I do...never had any slip yet with up to 100 lb YFTs. Put one wrap of electrical tape on the spool (no need to go top to bottom, no need to do multiple wraps. Tie a bimini in the end of the braid and leave the loop big enough to fit the bulk spool through. Put the doubled line around the spool twice, then pass open up the loop and pass the bulk spool through, then draw the line tight. Now spool as normal, using as much tension as you can generate (don't use friction on the line to generate the tension or you will weaken the line). Harry

Try using a couple of wraps of teflon tape. I'm sure electrical tape work great, but there is the stick residue it leaves. No residue with teflon tape.

| PowerPro includes little strips of foam tape that have adhesive on one side in each spool package. I've applied 2 or 3 of these strips to each spools as directed in the instructions before tying the braid to the spool and haven't experienced any slippage so far. Might be worth considering if you're a PowerPro user. The other ideas discussed above each sound good ... I'll probably give them a try. I especially liked the idea of tying the braid and mono together when winding on line and then rewinding them in the other direction because it does allow you to know precisely how much braid you have on as well as providing a non-slip mono base. I've been through that guesswork before but unfortunately didn't think of doing the reversal. Although new to this forum I'm learning a lot. Great ideas!

| I use mostly 302's so I have plenty of spools. I spool up like Ron said but then just put it on another empty spool and I'm set. A 302 will hold 300 yds. of power pro 40 with a little bit of 20 lb. mono for backing.
