[QUOTE="Slappy, post: 367307, member: 7608"] Start with 6 or 8 # mono backing on the spool to save on more expensive braid. Small piece of duct tape over the knot and loop on spool. After joining the braid, position the union knot at the top or bottom of the spool so it doesn't snag if you get spooled for some reason. Buy the 1500 yd spools of powerpro. Unit cost is lower and far less waste. Measure how much line is on one full rotation of the reel. Count reel turns as you fill the spool and you'll know how much you used. Keep a running total of approximately how much remains on the spool of braid by writing on the sticker on the spool. [/QUOTE]
