Okay guys,
Maybe you can suggest a better way to put on line then I already do.
When I put on line this is what I do.
I take my spool of fireline and I reel my line onto my reel. Once I have enough line on my reel, I make an albright knot to my mono. Then I finish up the rest of the space with mono. The reel is PERFECTLY filled with line and backing.
Then, I take the drill and I feed a pencil in the chuck. I put a rubberband on the pencil. I put a bulk spool on the pencil. Then I put another rubberband on the pencil above the spool. The spool is sandwiched inbetween the rubberbands.
Now, I take my reelspool and attach the mono to the bulk spool on the drill. I carefully wrap all the line on the bulk spool. Once all the line from the reel spool is on the bulk spool, I take the bulk spool off pencil. What I have is the SAME amount of line that fit on the reelspool perfectly but it's on a bulk spool. The mono backing is on the bottom and the fireline is on the top.
Then, I take ANOTHER bulk spool and put it on the pencil and replace the top rubber band. I take the bulk spool that is full of the line and tape the line to the empty bulk spool. I then wrap all the line from the first bulkspool to the second bulkspool. Now on the second bulk spool, I have the SAME amount of line that fit on the reelspool PERFECTLY only it's on the bulkspool. Now the fireline is on the bottom and the mono is on the top.
I take the second bulk spool off the pencil and attach it to my reel spool. I carefully wind that line back on my reel spool. What I wind up with is my mono backing on the bottom and my fireline on the top. Since I used my reel spool as a templet to see how much Fireline to put on, then filled the rest with mono, I wind up with exactly the amount of line that will fill the spool without having extra.
Doesn't this make sense?
Oh yeah, Hi Jaiem
