Spooling up Power Pro


Recommended Posts

I recently placed 30lb Power Pro on my Accudepth Plus 47lc and used it one time with a deeper diver. Well the next time I went to use the rod I noticed something wasn't right. Had issues reeling the line in and no matter how tight I set the drag I could pull line off. I noticed when the line came off that the spool wasn't spinning, so I thought (even though the schematic didn't show it) that the spool was two pieces and I hate busted something.

To make a long story short, after I unspooled the line(which did not come off smoothly, seemed like it was catching itself), I realized that wasn't eh case and it was the line slipping on the spool. So my question is should I be using a backing for Power Pro? Mono or electrical tape? Is there some special technique for spooling the line other than what the directions show on the box?

I am a total beginner, seems everyday I stumble across a new puzzle. I'd be completely lost if it wasn't for the resources and people that make up this website.

Thanks

Tom
