I'm looking for tips or a how-to on installing my new synthetic winch line.
My head keeps going back to the days when I worked at Bass Pro and having to spool fishing reels with braided line. Without a "backing" the line would literally spin around the spool, thus not properly engaging the drag system. Some people used electrical tape for backing but I always spliced the braided line to monofilament that would "stick" to the spool.
Anyways, I'm wondering if the same thing holds true for synthetic winch line? My line has an end that gets screwed to the drum. Will this be sufficent to prevent slippage on the drum?
Thanks
