What knot do you use to tie braid to the spool? Also, what knot do you use to tie mono to braid?

Hollow core? If hollow core wrap around the spool 10 times or so then wrap the tag end line around the main line. Using a needle kit shoot the tag end back onto the main line towards the spool. It constricts the spool the harder you pull. I'll be spooling up a few reels and try to take some pics. You can mimic the same style with solid core using a bimini loop.
For mono to braid FG or splice it up if using hollow.Last edited by Matt; 05-05-2024, 05:15 PM.Comment

One tightly wrapped piece of electric tape around the spool gives the braid something to bite into. You can get as tech as you want, but I have been using this on Stellas and Saragossa for years for tuna and have never had a slip.
Mono to braid nothing compares to a PR knot tied at the house, and FG knot if needed on the boat and a uni-to-uni for quick tie.
I assume you are talking heavy tackle.Last edited by Rainbowrunner; 05-05-2024, 07:08 PM.My favorite essential oil is bacon greaseComment
