Tying Power Pro to stainless reel drum

[Eliminator]

Hi guys,

I just received my new convector reels and wondered the best way to tie power pro to the reel with out it slipping. Also wondering how you do it for wire on wire dipseys. Most of them will be spooled with power pro then blood run 32 lb copper. Not sure if I can wing wire divers or just do power pro again.

I have heard putting electrical tape on the spool first solves the problem but i can not speak for that. I think i would go with a really short section of mono to tie on the spool and then connect to the braid/wire. dont really like spicing lines together but that connection will probably never see the light of day anyways.

i did the short section of mono also.

I haven't used power pro but I do use fireline and the tape has worked for me.

Black tape and an arbor knot (http://www.animatedknots.com/arbor/index.php) will work as will a base of mono. -- Bud

I tie the line to the spool, than crank a 2" pc. of electrical tape on over the line.

This is what I do for my reels with fireline and wire.

I do about the same

I too use the electrical tape since I can't afford the room of even a little mono on my reel. Works fine so far.

I put the the tape then the power pro or wire. Never a problem

What he said.

You can also have the reel pinned witch makes a rock solid conection

I always tie 5' of mono on with an arbor knot and then attach the powre pro to it via back to back uni knot. As far as the wire connection, you cannot beat the Willis Knot IMO. Its so nice not dealing with crimps.

anybody use the foam tape rectangles that come with power pro? I usually use a mono backing but have one reel with the foam tape and it has worked good so far.
