Walleye #1 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Any suggestions on what line and backing line to put on the new spooler reel? Walleye #1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hudson Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I backed with 10lb mono and then used a back to back uni knot with whatever lb test you want to use for the species you are looking for. I am a big fan of Northland Fluorosilk in 2lb for Panfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Uran Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I spooled both of mine directly with no backing. Next time Ill take Jim Hudsons advice and back with some bigger mono. That sounds like a plan, Im a fan of Northland Bionic Ice in 2lb test. I love these reels, they have performed flawlessly so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishin4fun_MN Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I used Sufix Ice braid under my Sufix Magic Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Breuer Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I like using fly like backing/dacron. Fills up the spool nicely, and I can get some neat color combos rocking. I always spool my backing with high ridges on the outsides of the spool, making a "V" shape. This allows my main line to settle in the middle, and not dig into the dacron.
