Thanks for the input MrAC!
Honestly, I wanted to back the spool with mono just to save some money. I figured that half the spool filled with mono would make the braid go twice as far. I happened upon some videos and posts mentioning the electrical tape to keep the braid from digging into the mono, as well as keep it from slipping. I was not sure if I should tie the braid to the mono, or just spool it on top of the mono (and tape).
The tip about flipping the braid is genius! thank you!
