doobie 5,802 Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Like many of us I'm sure, but what do you do with any left over braid? I'm thinking of ditching it, but there are other uses for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmck 627 Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Use it as backing. Looks like you have some useable lengths there. buy smaller reels and use them for squid etc I have a few Shimano IX4000 and they catch everything... even big snapper. If all else fails ... sent it all to me... mrfish and doobie 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doobie 5,802 Posted April 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 yep could use them as backing dmck - didn't actually think of that as I only had mono in my head for backing Did just buy a Daiwa Crossfire 2500 yesterday cheaply, so might just do it on that. Otherwise I'll send them to you Thanks for your thoughts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rybak 622 Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Tie them all together to make enough line possibly to spool another reel using a braid to braid knot. doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ShoreJigger 171 Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 If it’s over about 30lb, I use it to make homemade assist hooks for Yellowfin Whiting. 40lb power pro in this pic. Softy, Hunter69 and Squid Inc. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh could do, although I'd prefer all one length on my smaller reels. Might use as backing on larger reels though. Thanks Rybak 22 hours ago, HB tragic said: Grandkid's reels? Regards, HBt.

All around 15-20lb, but good thought Hunter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doobie 5,802 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Think I'll use as backing as suggested on a larger reel. Thanks all for your suggestions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
