Use backing, it keeps you from wasting so much braid. Also keeps the braid from slipping on the spool. If you're really trying to squeeze everything out of your spool. When the braid is faded and worn out, reel it onto an empty spool and all that braid underneath the old braid is still brand new. hope that makes sense

bman i like what you do turning the line around.i'am makeing a spool to turn the line around to refresh the line. where the backing and braid fill the spool poperly and you can add to backing at anytime.to refill and refresh the existing line you have.
