Braid slipping on spinning reel spool
I have recently noticed that when I'm fighting fish, my braid often will slip on the spool. At first it seemed as if drag malfunction, but found it is indeed slipping. I tie a uni and am certain it is snugged up. Have also trolled out all the line on the spool and made sure it was indeed spooled with enough tension. Anyone have a good trick to avoid this? Any ideas recommending glue will surely be gags and will not be attempted! Must be some secret to avoid this, possibly a few half hitches till it bites better???

You will either have to run some tape on your knot that is around the spool or run a mono backer under the braid.

Yes
I know exactly what you are talking about you need to either us arbor tape or i prefer you use monofilament backing.

On most spools there is a little tab for holding your line if you switch spools I just ti by braided stuff to that then wind it on it will never slip

Like many of the others have said, mono backing before you spool your braid on is your best bet to avoid line slippage.
That being said, since you already have your spool loaded up with braid, just pull all the line off until you get down to the spool and then put a piece of tape on the line/spool to stop it from slipping, and then just reel your line back on.

I don't want mono backing and don't have a tie off inside the spool.
A tiny piece of 2-sided tape works perfect and doesn't impede function whatsoever.

Did you put some tension on the spool that was holding the line as you were winding it on to your reel?

When you buy new line it always has the white tape on the tag end. I always cut that peice of tape in half and put it on the knot, have never had a braided line slip.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Since I will have to troll out a few hundred feet of braid (dont think my backyard is up to the task) , I think a couple half hitches on there quick will be a good start and go from there. Possibly try the tape thing on my next respool if its a failure....

I've used electrical tape before braid goes on, right on the spool, not the knot (just adds friction) - it worked and saved space. Mono works too, it's what I have now on mine

I put electrical tape on mine after I tie the knot, then spool it up. Haven't had line slippage since I started doing that...

Backyard, you can do it in your chair in the house. Doesn't have to be laid out flat, just don't mess it all up and tie knots in it.

Yup, not a big deal, just don't touch the pile of line, and it should go back on without any problems...

This is what I do:
Take an old spool that line came on
Take a 2inch bolt, with two washers an a nut, sandwhich the spool between two washers on the bolt, tighten the nut down
Once that setup is secure, put the free end of the bolt in the chuck of your drill, tighten er up
flip the bail on your reel, take the end of the line, tape it to the spool setup
Power up that drill, make sure your line winds on somewhat evenly, guide it with your fingers.
Once all the line is off your reel and onto the spool, clip the knot holding it on the reel
Add electrical tape OR mono backing, thread the line through the guides of your rod, re-tie your line on (tie it to the end of your mono with a double uni or tie it too your spool with a uni if you use the tape)
Take the spool that has all the line on it out of the drill, set it on the floor
Reel all of your line back in, it will basically fall off the spool...
Thats just what I do, done it many a time to switch line between reels or add mono backing
Hope that makes sense...knowing me it probably wont

Pretty good idea, sure would beat spooling it off the reel by hand...

try winding it a few raps before you spool it then you got a base built up

Braid will still end up slipping if you do this. You will have to tape or mono back if you don't want any slipping at all.

Ya I would fix that if I were you. What happens if you get a fish of a lifetime on and the braid starts slipping? There is a way higher chance of you losing that fish. Just pull all your line off until you hit the knot and throw a piece of tape on there and reel it back up. Will help when you do find that monster.

Trav. has it right.
After fishing for some really good sized eyes with braid you will have your mind changed for sure.

You want braid with flex? Why not try Spiderwire Fluoro Braid.
There are close to 100 types of braid on the market. Each one acts different. I am sure there is one out there that will meet your needs.
