Braid on a Tatula SV TW
Posted: Sun Feb 04, 2018 11:08 am
Going to run braid on an SV for the first time. Not a braid fan, bit it is going on a frog combo. Do the SV spools need a mono backing with braid?
TIA.
TIA.
Only reason I'd add backing is to prevent slip. Or reduce the amount of pricey braid.Tokugawa wrote:Going to run braid on an SV for the first time. Not a braid fan, bit it is going on a frog combo. Do the SV spools need a mono backing with braid?

you are asking for trouble doing that..a little bit of mono backing with a uni knot or arbor knot insures no slippage.MediumHeavy wrote:I actually use cheap braid as backing on all of my reels and don’t use any tape or mono to keep it from slipping. I use 50lb 4 strand or whatever isn’t as slickly coated. No slipping that I can tell, just make sure you wind it on tightly.

winding braid tight doesn't do anything since braid doesn't stretch.
No worries, I just haven’t noticed any slippage or had any issues myself. At least not that I’m aware of. I also don’t punch super heavy cover with extra heavy powered rods. But for average heavy cover pitching, frogging, and swimbaiting up to 1.5oz I haven’t had problems.johnD wrote:I'm not trying to be a dick..just trying to help , mat fishing down here I've seen it slip on the spool with no backing or tape.

Usually i just tie an arbor knot and add about 7/8 of a wrap of electrical tape to hold it in place.
