pescados 1 Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hi,Just wondering if a drag can be repaired? egHad a decent size ST on the line and was cranking the handle but the line stayed static and yes I could not tighten the drag anymore to what it was.Needles to say, lost it.

Softy 2,991 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 From what i have been told is braid will spin on the spool unlike mono. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dubs The Tackle Man 0 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Shouldnt if if you tie it on there properly. We always put a peice of masking tape around the spool give the braid something to bite into. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dont beleive in the mono backing coz id rather have a constant line to the end but each to their own. So many different ideas hey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrballs 12 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 What if you have a 150yd spool of braid and it only fills half the spool? Thats when you need the mono backing for the non slipping aspect and building up the height so you're able to cast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
