I never use backing on my braid and have found that after a while it gets messed up. For example the braid just pulls off the spool without any drag being used, also I cast out and find that i cannot reel in my bait and have to pull it in by hand. I'm pretty sure that it is because the braid isnt on tight on enough. Now onto my question, what kind of line do you use for backing? I heard from a buddy of mine that if you put some electrical tape or hockey tape on the spool before you tie the braid on and spool your reel it helps, can anyone else say the same?
Thanks
