All Braid and the other coated super lines such as Fireline will under the right amount of pressure "slip" meaning that the line as a whole will slip around the spool which can cause a nightmare at times. I agree strongly with Mike P that using backing to save money and use less of the Braid is not a good idea, even though many will do so. With both of these seemingly opposite thoughts considered, I either place a single layer of tape (electric or cloth) on the spool and then fill with the Braid...another thing to do is put a one layer thick backing of mono or dacron over the spool and then fill with Braid.
