Default How to fix braided line slipping on reel?

I have 8lb braid on one reel and 30lb on another. Problem is that both lines slip on the reel. What do others do to prevent this? I make sure to put it on with tension and I have redone a few times but this keeps happening. I cant remember the brands, Suffix maybe, but was decent quality stuff.

Start with a mono as a backing and a a few wraps of it, then tie your braid to the mono

Use mono for a few wraps then double uni knot to your braid and finish spooling , also you can wrap electrical tape on the spool so the braid has something to bite into .... Or buy a pfluger they come braid ready spools now lol!

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

Put a small piece of tape to hold the knot to the spool and reel all the line back on.

i put my reels in the freezer for a while to shrink the bob, then i wrap some electrical tape around the first 3 wraps of line, then spool the whole thing.

I put on what ever amount of superline I wish to use(some reels have only 50 yds) then I fill the rest of the spool with mono(about 1/8th in from spool lip). Run on to same spool if I have one and if not I run to a spare line spool then back to another spare line spoon then back to the reel I want it on. Bit of work but you get proper amount on the spool. Can save you money this way.

Otherwise I usually run a slight bed of mono, but have used the tape way of doing it. Both work well.

Running some mono mono first and then double uni knots to your braided line is easy to do, prevents slippage and saves you some money on how much expensive braided line you need to spool.

I’ve been known to use the little piece of tape that holds the tag end of the new line to the spool that the line comes on. I put that piece on the reel spool and position the knot right over it. Seems to hold fine.
