Et voila!

Good description of the technique, DT. I use the same method to put a
loop in my backing for a loop to loop connection with my fly line.

Thanks, CC. Now I can point to Google the next time someone asks ;-)

I have done the really big backing loop thing to my larger reels, especially
my wide arbor 11-12 - as it makes changing lines a relative snap, so I don't
have to carry an extra weighty spool on the flats...

cheers
