Picked up a new spinning reel. I have a mechanical spooling machine could you use that to spool braid or do you have to do it a certain way?

Just make super sure that it's right or it will slip

the knot at the spool has to be very tight, so the line will not free turn after you get it spooled. There are several tricks that can be used, some wrap tape on the spool to give the knot something to hang on to. Sports wrap for handles is ok, like you use for a tennis racket or a bat. I use a 3/4 inch double sided tape that works good. jim

Spool it on really tight so it doesn't slip. I'll have to try the sports wrap myself, good idea.

In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

I always put a Piece of duct tape and put it over the line when it makes contact to the spool and have never had a single problem ever with it since I started doing it that way!

This is not so important with braid but it is a good habit to form if you switch to fluorocarbon or monofilament: the line spool you are pulling line off of should come off the bottom, analogous to say and underhanded softball pitch; casting reels are the opposite and it should roll off the top like an overhand pitch. If your feed spool lies on its side, just make the mental adjustment to abide by this.
This puts the line on the reel with the same bias, if any, developed on the spool. Think of your garden hose here and its bias when you roll it up after use.
I don't use tape, I just use monofilament for a backer leaving enough room on my reel to then reel on way more braid than I'll ever cast out. Then, usually a short fluorocarbon leader.
If you are going to get "spooled" owing to the kind of fishing you do, I'd just use a bit more braid.

I do this, too....but, wrap the tape completely around the spool a couple of times...then....tie the knot....then get a small piece of tape and tape the knot to the spool....the braided line will "dig" into the tape and prevent it from slipping..this technique has never failed me....

I always back fill with some cheap mono about 1/3 of the way up the spool on all of my reels.
