I used to do it that way when I wanted it perfect.. Now I don't worry about perfect much so now I just put enough backing on to cover the spool a few times..

I've gone to electrical tape on the empty spool, and eliminating the backing. As long as I lay the initial couple dozen turns of braid carefully, with proper tension, covering the spool base with a couple layers, I have not had any issues. I use PowerPro, and some Suffix.
