Default Re: Spooling Braid ?

The first time I used braid was awhile ago. I put 8 lb Power Pro without backing on my fresh water trout set up, Stradic 100. It was fantastic that entire year. Opening day the next year, when I hooked my first trout, I couldn't reel the fish in, the entire full spool of line spun freely on the arbor. I had to pull the fish in by hand and switch to my spare spool filled with 2 lb mono.
I'll never spool braid directly on the arbor again.
