Easier to do on a fs reel with spare spools..
Wind your desired amount of braid onto a spare spool first then wind on
the
backing (not forgetting to join the two of course) to the correct depth,
then wind the lot back onto another spool.
Backing is then covered by however much braid you selected.
A bot of a pain doing this with multis unless you have a pair..

Hi, how much do you roughly add of mono backing to the reel prior to
braiding?

TIA


Hi, thanks for reply, when you say correct depth what exactly do you mean?

This is what i have done, and i can change it before i go fishing next week
if its wrong. My first boat trip

1. Mono covering spool (60lb), ive knoted to the next line and then taped it
with electricians tape, ive done this to fill out the spool. roughly
20-30yrds.

2. then added the identical poundage of mono as the braid (30lb), approx
30yrds,

3. added 230 yrds of 30lb braid.

Should i remove the initial 60lb spool filler? Im using a multiplier.
