I've been asking up with water for 20 years. A deep sink with the water on full blast is even better then a bucket but we don't always have a sink the other thing you want to do is Ballance your spool, mark where your knot sits from your mono baking sits use a marker and run a line up your spool , make you braids to mono convection that knot should sits exactly opposite from the line you made for your spool knot. .... It can be a pain in the but at first to get your knot s exactly 180 degrees apart at first Takes a few tone🎉 but you get a sense of how much line to pull off the spoil prior to the convection knot, may seem a little bit over kill but you will be surprised at how much of a difference it makes I cat further with less v effort and no thumb until right at the end I'll feather it .. although if it s not to breezy I don't even have to do that with most lures some t don't care to ask you as the thing at the end yes my tells are set loose a casting reel is a precursor tool micro adjustments can pay Huge dividends. Balancing your spool is one such micro adjustments. It's worth the Effort in the long run. To balance it and letting you line on wet is the best way when you cat and tell k in your line it goes on wet the reel is designed to lay the line on the spoil evenly and right while wet why wouldn't you spool up wet? Now that you know better got won't
Ok so say your fighting a big fish in cover and your drag is getting hammered! Your line can slip the whole spool and cause you to lose that fish and snap your line this is just a precaution not a must
When I was younger I put straight braid on one of my baitcasters, and of course the line would always slip. I didn’t realize I had made that mistake and for years I didn’t use it because I was convinced that the drag was messed up, and wouldn’t tighten. Wish I would have seen this video back when I was like 13 so that this wouldn’t have happened!!
@@nathancraft1561 a simple piece of tape fixes that unless you tie a proper knot ..I've never had these problems not even in the slightest always been straight braid and always will 😂
If you have holes in the spool the just tie the braid to the spool like you did with the mono. No point of the packing if it won’t slip since there holes.
For standard bait caster like this, wrap your line around the spool, 4 to 7 times and then tie a Uni knot for bigger saltwater reels or catfish reels like a Abu Garcia 7000 wrap, it 8 to 10 times around the spool and tie a Uni knot. And I guarantee you, it will not slip, because that's what they do for the biggest saltwater reels there are Only use that method in the video when you're using a light line and spinning equipment and you don't want to put an outrageous amount on there. I only put about 75 yd of braid on my bass spinning reels when it comes to saltwater. Equipment braid is connected directly to the spool. Because I don't know if I'm going to hook into something massive
For those of you who are new or just have more to learn if your trying to spool a bait caster (I’m talking about big saltwater, catfish, striper bait casters not bass they all have holes to tie to) they have no holes with just braid you’ll get ghost drag(your line is spinning not ur spool braid is very slick) therefore you have to use a backer either tape,mono or floro. It isn’t something that has an opinion it is basic knowledge among fishermen so please stop saying I never needed to do that well that’s because your gear either doesn’t call for it or you haven’t been fishing for that long I have 20 year old bait casters you better put a backer on. Ps a lot a super pricey reels need it like my penn international visw.
@@jckdnls9292 if it could be done without risk of slipping half the world wouldnt be putting a nylon backing on or some special tape Some reel manufacturers even make a rubber ring integrated in the spool specially for braid
This comes much more important in saltwater applications. A top shot of mono is really nice too because it gets tangled way less. Less birds nests, plus mono is harder for fish to see, plus mono is way cheaper than braid so when you retie you lose mono not braid.
@mutinyrider666 personal experience shows the oppososite. Whatever you see online, I don't belive. I live in the west coast of fl. When we think of eating fish, it's mangrove snapper. The longer and lighter liter you're willing to fish with, the more bites. Atleast where I am. Proven time and time again by myself. I can't tell you how many times I've started with a big liter from being offshore and getting no bites inshore on a pier. The next drop after I retie, same length liter, same hook size, same bait, I'm on a keeper snapper. Almost never fails. I'd you're net getting bit on a shrimp on the bottom on structure in saltwater, go lighter tackle. You will get bit.
@@mutinyrider666 to add onto that, maybe its not that they can see it, but the fact that lighter, and consequently thinner line, gets caught less in the current and let's the bait look more like it isn't attached to a line. Whatever the case, the thinner and less tackle you can use, the better in almost any case.
Sometimes I use a good sized tuperware container with HOT water. Not boiling hot but hot enought its uncomfortable to leave your fingers and hand in it for more than a few seconds. It helps with the line memory. I realize its not necessry but its an old habit
@@evaone4286 Stringing up a reel and reeling in to fill the spool while using a finger for resistance so you don't have loose line in the spool. Finger rubs along the line and if it's dry more friction to cause friction burns. Wetness prevents dry friction. Hope that explains it for the most part.
@larrygupton6681 it's not there for getting low on line it's when your braid slips and weaves itself together it can mess with casting distance and cause knotting in the spool all the mono does is let the braid hug it and stop it from slipping
I never put any backing line on my baitcasters (now i do fish for pike and always use bigger baitcasters that can spool up allot of line and cast pretty far or are used for trolling) and none of them ever had the line slipping once so i think it depends on you’re setup really but for mine backing line really isn’t needed
😂 that omniflex is the cheapest s*** on the market I hope you didn't have to pay for it but you're absolutely correct start out with the worst s*** they make!
@@jasonnester9514 not when it's tied to nothing and is weaker than the braid is. the line diameter has to be larger than the braid to even come close to being as strong as the braid would have been if you'd left it alone ....and not to mention the unnecessary knot that can could possibly ruin guides over time and could make any backlashes a nightmare ...I've tried this method and it didn't last long before I realized there is no beating plain straight braid
@@spartansoff-roadrecovery5058 well I can’t afford to full spool all my reels straight braid and I fish for steelhead and salmon even they never take me down to my backing
No need for a braid to mono knot. Just tie a simple over hand knot with both the lines together. That way if the spool gets opened by accident and your going down the lake a high clip then it will break at the knot and not pull the whole rod and reel in the water..and it’s faster
Maybe when he was searching mono to braid knot videos he should have watched a video of how to properly attach line to a bait casting spool...hahaha. hope he doesnt get spooled. The only and best way to do this is to put a single wrap of electrical tape on the spool do a line wrap and your cinch knot on your spool ( so if you get spooled your line just doesnt rly off you reel when it gets to the end) pull tight and start to fill. The electrical tape gives your line something to grip onto so it doesnt slip.
ummm why dont u tie the line onto the spool arbor?? ive had striped bass and salmon in the Ca Delta pull drag all the way down to the spool, but kept em on and landed em because i tie the line onto the arbor... Ur settin people up for failure
Just learn the proper connection, mono beneath causes ussues, do the anaconda knot, basicaly feeding the line 5-15 times around the spoool and ideally splicing a loop around the mainline but a loopknot also works. Creating the loop first and then feedind it around, going through the loop with the spool also works. It's also known ascthe anaconda knot
Sorry to disagree but Braid backing is better, casts farther and is more sensitive. Depending on the application I go with light braid, unless frog feeshin' then mono or fluoro leader!
How many people have multiple poles? How many have multiple poles that are set up about the same? If you do have rods and reels that are similar, try this instead. When it comes time to reline your rods, unspool one. Then respool it with the line from your other reel. The old beat up line will be the "backing" and the unused line is now exposed. Spool up the empty real with new line, then repeat further down the line. This way you only buy line for one rod each time.
We need to standardize the holes on baitcaster spools. Every spool should have them and i understand that its an extra step in the fabrication process, but it just makes sense
The holes are for weight reduction. Putting a knot through them messes with the weight distribution. Not tying a knot defeats the whole purpose of backing.
There’s no need for backing if your spool has those holes in it. If it doesn’t just tie a uni knot and loop it over 3 times and take your spool out and tighten it down, it won’t slip at all
i do this with fluoro as well... both on spinning and baitcasting reels, when you think about it once the spool gets too low you lose casting distance so if youre changing out line when that happens you never use the line at the end of a spool. so ill do about a 1/4-1/2 of the spool with cheap line like the vid and fill up the spool in no time if you have to while out on the water
The bucket of water idea is actually genius
Thank you see someone gets it lol
I agree, it actually makes sense!
It sure is I never thought of that
Yeah it is but I went as far as using fabric softener to!
Yeah you csn use it with mono as well Luke warm water it'll help the memory when it's goes on the reel
Never once had an issue with braided on a bait caster
The backing trick is only for reels with no holes. If there are no holes and you have to tie around the reel spool, braid will free spin.
On spinning reels you will eventually have issues when the line gets low
@@BankBustaa tape it. Never had a problem

I have holes on my spool but I don’t use em. I just go under and up with the line and grab it on the other side. Then I tie a simple clinch knot. No need for the holes 👍

@@JoaoAlves-me7wp yup same for me 👍 very simple

Most new reels today have anti slip on the spool to prevent any backing
Aa long as you know the palomar knot braid is the way to go imo....freaking love the stuff.
