Spooling a 113h

[OldSchool]

Definitely braid under firm tension works better imo, braid to mono you cant find a  simpler and stronger connection than a properly tied FG knot. Technically its not a knot and works similar in principal to a Chinese thumb trap, the harder you pull the tighter it holds. I cant say enough about the FG its brilliant.

 Thanks for the great article AJ.  I still think I will use some tape on the spool even though they say it is not really needed. Kiwi shoe polish ...  hmmm

  Great knot OldSchool.  I originally used a uni to uni but it sat so high on the reel. The fg knot lays nice and flat. Thanks for the tip.
