RE: How to prevent line slippage

Ajerv (6/27/2008)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

Start 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 themono 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.
