Backing For Braid

[SoCalFisher]

I am just wondering what you guys like to use as backing for braid.

Nothing. straight braid and dont bother with backing anymore. Youtube The Spanish Fly's channel and see how he spools up a spinner, very easy and it works.

I actually got a 1lb spool of 12# yo zuri hybrid really cheap last year and that's what I use. I like it cause if for some reason I get a nasty backlash On the bait caster or a knarly tangle on my spinning gear I can just strip the line down to the yozuri and keep on using the rod and reel with confidence.

I guess you have money to burn... 200 yards of braid can do 3 reels depeding same goes for Flouro...

You can use anything for backing. The braid I use is about 80 yards or so, 4 "new" line changes per spool.

I am now tieing my braid to the holes in the spool.

I dont know...... Yeah spend $200+ on a reel. Near $200 on its rod. $10 for INOX or Corrosion X to maintain them. Whats another $15 for a 125yard of braid?

I've done something similar to that,tied a uni knot to spool,then wrap it with electric tape. It does work.

I usually put the purchase-date on my line. When it gets "old", and I no longer want to use it as "fresh" line on my reels, those spools go into a separate bag/box. I use THAT "OLD" LINE to practice knot-tying and to use as backing on reels. (I usually use this "old" mono as backing vs. just tossing it in the trash.)
