loading braid on to a reel

[niall_b73 41]

ok so santa has just came early :notworthy: and left me a spool of 50lb braid as well as a selection of savage gear lures (i love santa so much). :notworthy:

 

my question is:

is there a certain way to load the braid on to the spool ??

 

i have read different accounts where it is said to wet it before you put it on also to first tie mono line even if just a couple of foot to the spool first (to stop the line spinning on the spool) then tie the braid to the mono ??

basically i want to know how do you load your braid to your spool....

 

other than that i hope to hit a very little fished water tomorrow with my mate and put these savage gear lures to the test :boogie:

 

thanks for your help in advance and i'll let you know how i get on tomorrow

i always tie the braid directly to the spool...dry.

 

 

and have never had any problems

hi niall, hows the fishing going for you mate? I prefer to tie my braid directly onto the spool, once i have filled up the spool as much as i can i then feed it through the eyes of my rod and tie on a 3oz bomb weight, cast out into the water or even a field (which ever is handier) and then reel in, i find this helps to tighten the line onto the reel. cheers......john

Either put a few turns of mono or put a wrap of tape on the spool this allows the braid to grip the spool and always load on wet.

john, all is good.

not geting out as much as i would like to but thats life.

when we do go out catching a few but no biggies as of yet. most the waterways up our way are choked with weed making fishing with the boat damn near impossible :wallbash: hopefully it will soon die off

 

never made it down your way yet but do hope to give it a lash in the future.

i been keeping an eye on your local website down there, some nice fish being caught....

 

what about yourself any big ladies under your belt this season.

the weed would be a bit of a problem, it's the same here, although the bad weather has washed most onto the shores of the loughs, havn't done any this season yet, havn't had the time, got a new lurcher during the summer and have been putting alot of time into her.
