jeprli; couldn't agree more. I just picked up a couple of reels at a garage sale, with spare spools. They had a mix of electrical tape, medical tape, and even bandaids used to provide this bite. The tape adhesive "leaked out" to cover the first few wraps, and severely weakened the line on the spool. I f the owner had given line to that point on a big fish, the line would have snapped. Cleaning up this mess was no easy task either! Any of the non-tape suggestions work well for me.
