About 5 turns of monofilament line, I use 15# to try and keep the knot-size down, try to bury the knot as you reel - you don't want the castable braid finding that knot...

Some guys use electrical tape but I find mono works better. Without some type of backing, the entire spool mass may spin on ya...definately use some type of backing IMO -

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
