Ok this  is prob a dumb post but ill give it a shot ...Too put braid on a reel u will need 2 reels the same size since u use mono ,or floro backing this is how i do it ok for the reel im putting the braid and backing on what u do is tape your braid to the REELS spool THIS WORKS BEST FOR SPOOLS OF 150 YARDS OR LESS seeing once u go past 150 yards the price goes way up and most of us dont need 300 yards of braid or even 200 yards .All you have to do is reel your braid d in till its out THEN you put ur backin on and continue to reel till ur spool is full ,,,Then you use the other reel to take the line u just put on off now when u fill the REEL your using you will have a perfect amount of braid and backing.Yall prob know this already if not i have really confused ya...  i proof read this 5 times i hope i did it right ;D ;D  IM BORED and tired

Hmmm I just put about 25 yards of 10# mono and fill it with spider wire. A lot easier than using two different reels. IMO Never failed until I let the monopoly guy at the store do it for me. I cast out and bird nested a spinning reel with braid. How in the crap did that happen? No clue. I was ticked though and went back and wanted to slap him witht he rod. Instead I asked the manager if this guy even knew what he was doing and he said he was from the shoe dept. ;) If I would of know that I would of walked away and never looked back. Any who thats how i gets it done.

I fill all new reels with cheap mono (wally World $1.57) in the size I'm likely to use on that reel. If it's a reel i haven't used before a couple fishing trip just make sure the level is right.

Then I strip off 35-40 pulls and a pull would be 3 ft. And install braid or flouro and mono. Now all my reels are this way about 110 ft of line so with braid I just go from reel to reel.

This keeps my reels at a proper level and I'm not wasting line.
