hi every one i have recently started doing some marker work
and was woundering on my marker reel do i need to put mono backing on it before spooling up with 20lb braid at my local lake twinersh can any one help?
thanks dan

I only put on about 175 yds of braid , the rest is cheap mono,
no point putting 300 yds on if your only chucking 100yds,
most of my fishing is done at about 150 yds

best to puit some mono on first...it will give something for the braid to "bed into" and not slip on your spool.

NICK R nothing wroung with what your doing with braid...we do something similar...we put the whole lot on and then after "x" months we take it off and reverse it so the used braid youv'e been using is now by the backing.

When useing braid keep it wet at all times whilst fishing. It cast better and stops knots when its wet. I used e.s.p marker braid when use my mates marker worked great.
