Anyone ever had trouble with braided line just spinning around the spool when you are reeling in. It just happened to me for the first time. I was reeling in, but the line was moving around the spool as a whole. It seemed like it was really loose around the spool. I think it is because I left my reel in my car, which gets up to 100 degrees inside because I park in the sun. Does anyone know if it was the heat that had an affect on the line??

Not the heat, I leave mine in my garage year round, in Florida my garage temp is over 100 much of the year.

I think your line is not spooled properly.  I have never had line slipping like you mentioned, I use tape, electrical or masking, tie or just tape, personal choice, spool it tight and you should have no problem.

Always need to spool on a few layers of mono or fluoro before putting on braid. Some guys like electrical tape too, I like both just to be safe.

Your braid is slipping on the reel , do as David P said and you will eliminate the problem.

Definitely sounds like you spooled it wrong.  Either use some mono backing on the spool, or use some arbor tape.  A lot of the newer reels are coming braid ready with small rubber strips already on the spool.  Do either of those and you'll solve the problem.

Yeah I forgot that I didn't do that for some reason

Live and learn , that's what lifes all about.

I always spool with mono backing.  I use 75-80 yards of Power Pro/Suffix tied to the mono with a double uni knot.  Save money in the long/short run.

I never use backing, tape and spool with braid all the way, freshwater reels don't have that much line capacity anyway.  When I need line I just add what I need with new braid, I use this practice in all fishing environments.

agreed !!!

I tie my braid directly to the spool..w/o any problems..

if you have holes in the spool it works.if not you got lucky.

Yep my bc has a wiffle spool I just tie into the holes. On spinning reel use mono backing.
