Tying Wire to Mono Backing

[MWOLF451]

What knot should I use to attach my wire to my 30lb. mono backing?

Don't do it....Tie the wire directly on the spool, and fill the reel right up to the top with the wire.

Tie an overhand knot in the wire. Then tie a nail knot with the mono up against the overhand knot. This has worked for us the handful of times that kings have taken all 1000'. Without the backing, they would have taken it!

There is a video of the knot on here..

I like the perfection loop to loop. Make the loop in the wire big enough to pass the spool through itself and wind it on top of the mono backing. Near 100% knot strength. Friendly to the 7 strand too.

If you tie a uni knot against the overhand knot it's known as the 'Red Phillips' knot and is easier to tie than a nail knot. Never used it with wire but recently been using it for heavier mono to braid or leader.

I've been told that to insure that my counter is right that I need to fill the spool and with the wire it would only fill about 2/3ds. I am using an accudepth 47c that will hold about 1440 feet of line.

Thanks to all of you. This is my first year and I am trying to absorb as much info as I can. I can't wait to hit my first fish.
