Backing or not?
I just bought an Abu Garcia 10000I Big Game reel and plan on using Power Pro 50# test line.
I realize that Power Pro will slip if tied directly to a smooth spool, but this reel spool does have the little "bolt head" that I could tie to. Should I tie it on directly, or use a 25# mono backing? Last edited by Poseidon; 03-23-2014 at 11:18 AM..

Re: Backing or not?
All you really need is 2ofeet or so if you intend to max your spool out with Braid or you can use more mono to build your spool up but w.e you choose i say min of 2oft of mono

Throw a few yards of mono on there then pack it full of your power pro

Re: Backing or not?
I seem to remember guys saying that the super braids or whatever they are referred to nowadays, can crack the spool if tied directly.
But that was 15 years ago, maybe the lines have changed? Why chance it on a new reel? I'll go with the mono backing method..

Re: Backing or not?
Bring it down to the shop..I will set it up for you ...Filling up the whole spool with braid , in my opinion, would just be a waste of money...Pete

Re: Backing or not?
Backing is not really needed, as long as you do it right. Its very important to keep steady drag on the braid, especially that deep in the spool. Otherwise your line will cut into the braid and bury itself with a bigger fish. ( this problem is just as common as the slipping issue )
Depending on what your using it for...... you may be wasting half the spool if gong braid all of the way. 90% of the reels using 100% braid never get into that last 35-40% of line...ever. Really up to you.... but not needed. On a side note..... if anybody is looking for a 10000 Automatic 2 Speed ABU, I still have a few left. NEW!!! Never Used/spooled. $150
