Just another note to add. The backing should never be spooled super tight. It should fit snug and not loose, but winding it too tightly can cause the spool to warp :cheers:
For most of my reels I use a Bimmini twist in the backing, and then loop the back end of the flyline. This makes it easy for me to change fly lines as I seem to have alot of different lines, but not many reels
