Guys, when spooling up what knot do you use say for braid or mono to initially attach the line to the spool? Have you ever been dumped to just the knot?

| If braid, wrap the spool core with cloth tape or electrical tape to give it something to "bite" on, or it can slip. I just tie a normal overhand knot, nothing special.

| This take the overhand knot a step further and adds the anti slip knot to it.  | ||

| The pro's recommend an albright with a lock when attaching braid to mono. I've never been down to the knot on the backing but the albright to a mono leader hasn't failed yet. (a dab of Krazy Glue doesn't hurt either).

| What are the pro's and con's of each? I am about to line up some 30's and 50's and was considering regular power pro with a top shot until opinions on another site said don't use it because you can make a loop to loop connection properly without knots???? Now I am very confident with my not tying skills and never had one fail on a fish in braid. I don't see why regular braid wouln't be sufficient with the right knots on the offshore grounds. Opinions???  | ||
