Hey big unit - what are you up to ?? - actually going fishingShocked.

Three or 4 runs of mono should see you sorted - tape stays sticky and is a pain to remove later on.

Strongly recommend that you DO NOT use braid as fly line backing, unless you want a new nic name - "Stumpy"

NOT braid Wobert - maybe you could be brave and use 100lb but in blue water, but the thinner/lighter strengths will cut you to the bone as quick as a scalpel if you fingers are anywhere near it on a fast runner.

Dacron Hmmmm.... is that the pretty yellow/orange stuff ??

Da Wookie's wight!!! LOL
On advice supplied on this site, I have used Mono.
I like the stretch and larger diameter.
I'm using similar strength mono/braid.
Not chasin records, so sensibility reigns.
