I do not know if this is the right way, but this is the what has worked for me.

Tie a uni-knot (a slip knot) on the braid. Keep the loop open. fold the loop back on itself 3 or 4 times, making 3 or 4 wraps around the spool before cinching up the knot. This way, you have 3 or 4 counter-turned wraps with pressure on each other
